This course explores the framework of Christian morality, providing students with the tools to make godly decisions in a complex world. Students will examine various ethical systems (Deontological, Teleological, and Virtue Ethics) through the lens of Scripture. The course covers the theological basis for ethics, the role of conscience and culture, and applies biblical principles to contemporary issues including bioethics, sexuality, economics, and social justice.

This course integrates the globally recognized project management standards of the Project Management Institute (PMI®) and the PMBOK® Guide with the timeless wisdom of Scripture. Students learn to initiate, plan, execute, monitor, and close projects with excellence, integrity, and servant leadership. Each module pairs a biblical narrative (e.g., Nehemiah’s wall, Noah’s ark, Moses at the burning bush, Jesus washing feet) with a secular corporate case study (e.g., NASA’s Apollo program, the Panama Canal, Toyota Production System, Johnson & Johnson crisis). The Bible serves not as a devotional supplement but as the original source of project management principles—covering scope definition, stakeholder engagement, risk management, ethical decision‑making, and lessons learned. Students complete a final project: a full Project Management Plan for a real or hypothetical faith‑based or non‑profit initiative. This course is designed for business professionals, ministry leaders, and students seeking PMP® certification or advanced leadership skills with a biblical foundation.

A survey of the literature of the New Testament in its historical, literary, and theological contexts. The course examines the cultural and religious background of the Greco-Roman world and Second Temple Judaism, the life and teachings of Jesus, the development of the early church, and the diverse writings of the apostolic era, culminating in a synthesis of New Testament theology.

An introductory survey of the historical books and the major sections of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament: The Pentateuch, Historical Books, Wisdom and Poetic Literature, and the Prophets. The course provides an overview of the content, structure, literary genres, and theological themes of each book in the Old Testament canon. Students will explore the historical and cultural contexts of the Ancient Near East, the formation of the biblical text, and major interpretive methods, with special attention given to God’s unfolding plan of redemption. The course will be rooted in the conviction that the Old Testament is foundational for Christian faith, life, and discipleship.
