This course will help you advance your knowledge and understanding of the Bible through an in-depth study of the scriptures and their practical application to your life. If you are seeking to grow spiritually and/or considering a role in ministry, this course is designed specifically for you.

This course and other future courses are aimed at building your faith through:

(1) Education: A classroom component to grow your faith and deepen your relationship with God through His Word and guidance of the Holy Spirit.

(2) Mentoring: Access to individual mentorship to help you discern God's calling for your life.

(2) Service: A service-learning requirement through the ministry opportunities (volunteer internships) at Grace.

Registration for the course is required.

Schedule and Location: The first day of class is Thursday, September 11, 2025, and the last day is December 11, 2025. Class times are from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. We will meet each week for 1.5 hours in-person at the Grace Community Church at Ballston Quarter, 4238 Wilson Blvd, 2nd Floor, Arlington, VA 22203. Additional small group and individual mentoring will be arranged at mutually agreed upon times and locations.

Student Cost: The cost for the course will be $135. Students that have not enrolled in the Bible School for previous courses, you will need to complete a one-time student enrollment application, on-line. Please contact Devin Sareen at devin.sareen@trygrace.org for the link to the Bible School enrollment.

Textbook: After we enroll each student into the Bible School, the student will receive access to a digital copy of the Independent Study Textbook (workbook) - "Eschatology: A Study of Things to Come". There is a separate $15 charge if you want a physical copy of the textbook.  The Ministerial Studies at Grace courses are not-for-credit and non-transferable. There are no pre-requisites, tests, or exams.

Each student is committing to:

(1) attend at least 12 class sessions. You must come prepared for a robust discussion of the Bible passages being studied. Time spent in self-study, prior to each lesson, should average about 30 minutes a day.

(2) complete the service-learning requirement (ministerial opportunity, volunteer internship) at Grace. You must participate as a volunteer/intern for at least 8 weeks of this course. The service-learning (volunteer internship) requirement should be completed by the 12th week. For ministry opportunities at Grace, visit trygrace.org/serve/at-grace.

(3) write a one-page paper about what you learned from your ministry experience.

Vicky and I are praying for God to lead you in this life-transforming decision!
