Gain Wisdom. Live Faithfully. Act Courageously.

As disciples of Christ, we cannot truly love our neighbors and remain indifferent to ideas and actions that do harm to people and God’s creation. The fact is “ideas have consequences and bad ideas have victims.” Because we care about the victims of “bad ideas,” we are pleased to partner with the Colson Center for Christian Worldview in bringing the Colson Fellows Program to Bethel Church.

The Colson Fellows Program is a transformational course that compresses a lifetime of Christian wisdom… into ten months. This program will establish a solid foundation for those who are new to the study of Christian worldview, and for those who are well-versed in worldview and apologetics; you will gain new insights into today’s rapidly changing culture.

Program Overview
Beginning in August, Colson Fellows-in-Training follow a carefully curated curriculum that helps the student understand and identify worldview and how they manifest in today’s ideas, philosophies, policies and practices. You will learn how to analyze and understand culture and its influence. Additionally, we will examine current cultural flashpoint such as race relations, progressive sexuality, religious liberty, the role of government, economics, and sanctity of life.
