HOW IT WORKS:

Taught by Institute teachers, subject experts, and professional gospel presenters, workshops will be held once a week for 3-5 weeks on a broad variety of topics, relevant to you, that are engaging, and gospel-centered.

Help choose the topics that you and your friends are most interested in, and share your feedback on the workshops

Of course, locally hosted social gatherings and refreshments will be provided in conjunction with the workshops.

TOPICS INCLUDE:
