Progressing Together
The Progressing Together curriculum can be found here.
Progressing Together exists to contribute to the spiritual growth and multiplication of the local church in areas where believers in Christ are a minority with limited access to discipleship and Christian service training.
It is a program of Bible study courses and training resources for all stages of Christian maturity from initial discipleship onwards. It is designed for believers in the Arab world. It is available in English, French, Arabic, Spanish, Hausa and Kabyle.
CORE VALUES
Progress, Grow in the faith
- Courses are centred on the Bible—biblical passages serve as the basis of the lessons
- The courses train the student to feed on the Word for himself to understand, reflect on, correct, share, and put into practice in the context of the local church.
- Through an active, inductive methodology, the program aims to teach the student to interpret and obey the Word—not simply to acquire Biblical knowledge
Together
- To learn with others is to encourage one another!
- Learning to appreciate the Church’s diversity, by understanding the position of believers from other doctrinal perspectives.
- Working together in the local church or with brothers and sisters from the same region.
- Reinforcing church life, and the direction of church leadership
