Immanuel Bible Institute

Whether you are a seeker, new believer, or a Christian wanting theological grounding, FoF 1 and FoF 2 explores the basic questions: Who is God and what is He like? How can Jesus be 100% God and 100% man? What is salvation, why do we need it, and what is necessary for salvation?

Picking up where Part 1 left off, FoF Part 2 focuses on growth in the Christian life, exploring the person and work of the Holy Spirit, the church, spiritual gifts, prayer, evangelism, service and God’s guidance. This course continues to utilize the Fundamentals of the Faith (Moody Press) curriculum, audio messages by Dr. John MacArthur and classroom discussion with comprehensive notes to build believers and future leaders at Immanuel. Note that while we recommend that FoF 1 & 2 be taken in sequence, students may take FoF 2 first, and follow up with FoF 1 in the fall.

The Fundamentals of the Faith, Parts 1 and 2, is Immanuel’s “flagship” course, since it thoroughly explains what we believe. It is strongly recommended for every Immanuel member, especially those who teach in any capacity. (13 weeks)

Whether you know it or not, you have a worldview. What is it? What is your neighbor’s worldview? How does your worldview impact your life?

A worldview is your overall understanding of the world. Your worldview represents your most fundamental beliefs and assumptions about the universe you inhabit. It reflects how you answer all the big questions of human existence, from “who am I?” and “why am I here?” to “what’s the meaning and purpose of life?” and “what’s the nature of the afterlife?” Your worldview shapes and informs your experiences of the world. Like spectacles with colored lenses, it affects what you see and how you see it. How does the gospel of Jesus Christ shape that perspective?

Our Christian worldview should define our lives and how we interact with our culture. If you want to know more about worldviews and explore your Christian worldview, this is the course for you!

Women and men are facing pregnancy decisions all around us, and while there are many ways to engage over the issue of abortion, God has given us the best solution: discipleship. In this course you will be equipped to care for people facing a crisis that may end in life or death. It is a noble and worthy thing to be “pro-life.” But more than that, Jesus calls us to be about “pro-abundant life,” rescuing people from both physical and eternal death. It is about others… and it is about you as well as God works in your own heart regarding the sanctity of human life. Making Life Disciples will inform and equip you to converse with women and men in the midst of their crisis. It will enable you to know how to really help them. Finally, it will give you an expanded perspective of how God would use you in the most emotionally-searing issue of our modern day. (10 weeks)

Julie Lowe meets many families with really hard parenting questions who want to know “What can I do to fix it!?” With over 20 years of biblical counseling, teaching, and parenting experience, Julie knows that quick fixes are rare. We find a whole world of generalizations, formulas, and promises. But our own children and situations seem to defy all that! We need true biblical wisdom which brings Scripture to bear on the particulars of life - both theirs, ours, and the Lord’s. In Parenting By Faith, Not Formula, Julie will talk about freedom: FREEDOM FROM the “ideal” family, parenting formulas, guilt, fear; and FREEDOM TO implement all that you know of a personal relationship with Christ and his family into your own family. In short, Julie will help connect your faith in Christ to how you parent. The Saturday conference includes a Winter Bible School (WBS) for children (nursery - 6th grade). Parents and teens attend Session 3 after lunch together. On Sunday morning, 9:00 a.m. in the Gym, Julie will also hold a free fourth session for parents.
