Relationships in Life and Church
Lecturer: Steve Midgley, BCUK
Term: Summer 2026
For all eternity our Trinitarian God has existed in relationship. And as those created in his image, God intends relationships to be central to our lives. Nothing is more important than learning how to relate well. But how do we do that? We are finite creatures, living this side of the Fall – what does that mean for our relationships? We are also redeemed sinners passionately loved by God – what difference does that make? Right relating to God as Lord and Saviour must always come first. This course explores how that relationship is the core which enables all other relationships to find their proper place.
Pre-requisites: Dynamics of Biblical Change, Helping Relationships

Scripture for Life and Ministry
Lecturer: Dr Mike Emlet, CCEF
Term: Summer 2027
Scripture is authoritative and sufficient for conversational ministry, but how do you connect God’s Word effectively to the lives and struggles of people around you? How do you use the Bible’s redemptive story in conversational ministry to help someone grow in their knowledge of and love for the Lord? This course will help you understand both people and the Bible more thoroughly and is designed to strengthen your ability to rivet Scripture to real-life ministry situations.
