Context

These lectures were first taught as a bible class in the evenings service of Pacific Baptist Church in El Segundo, California.

They aim to introduce believers to basic sound theology and generally avoid controversial topics.

They are mildly charismatic "Bapticostal" as some would say!

Each PowerPoint can be covered in 60-90 minutes though you may want to take a bit longer on some topics or split one into two weeks.

Principles Of The Faith

stone cross

A 14 lecture series on the basic principles of the Christian faith designed for average church members seeking to have a better foundation for their faith.

No complicated theological language is used and if some terms are used, they are explained immediately in the presentation.

Each lecture has a PowerPoint and also a PDF of the slides. The PDf has 4 slides per page and is easier to print out as a handout for students.

The formatting is simple and straightforward so you can print them out in black and white.

Page numbers refer to Wayne Grudem's book Systematic Theology which was used when this course was taught at a small bible college. This text is useful but not 100% necessary for a church bible class. However the teacher may want to have access to a copy of Grudem.
