(6) Correspondence Course

A number of people have expressed interest in a correspondence course on Reformed doctrine (and especially the Five Points of Calvinism). There are many saints throughout the world who have become acquainted with the truths of the Reformed faith, but who are unable to find a church near them that preaches this truth soundly. There are also those who are hearing sound preaching from Sunday to Sunday, but who recognize that they could still benefit from having the fundamentals of the Reformed faith taught to them one at a time, with illustrations and tables that help them to see and grasp these truths. In addition, there are many parents who desire to have their older children instructed in the truths of the Reformed faith, at their level and in a personal way. This correspondence course was designed with you in mind.

The first set of lessons goes through the Five Points of Calvinism. This course is taught by Pastor James Laning of Hope Protestant Reformed Church, Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA. It is designed to provide some back-and-forth, personal instruction. The lessons are sent out one at a time. The reader then studies the lesson, fills out the worksheet, and emails the worksheet back, along with any added questions or comments. When the next lesson is sent out, a response to what was submitted will be attached.
