ACOS Mission - Fresh Expressions and the Blended Ecology of Church (Facilitator: Beck)This course examines inclusive, accessible, transfiguring, and connectional forms of church (i.e. Fresh Expressions). Students will be immersed in the history and theology of the Fresh Expressions movement. This is a practical course in missional ecclesiology. While a rigorous exploration of missiology will be an aspect of the course, it is focused on praxis. Students will hone skills in contextual intelligence, trauma-informed evangelism, anti-racist discipleship, and incarnational church planting. Online classes for facilitating dialogue and answering questions will be held January 12, 2026 and February 9, 2026; both at 1 p.m. ET.
$400.00



ACOS New Testament - The Corinthians Letters: From Paul's World to Ours (Facilitator: Sisson)The two Corinthian letters provide deep insights into Paul’s pastoral theology. This course examines how Paul addresses the contentious issues which arose over the course of his engagement with Christians in this Greek city. The roots of congregational issues and conflicts in their social and cultural context is our principal focus. However, understanding of this historical context, which is essential to exegetical interpretation of scripture, is often helped by drawing parallels to the social and cultural contexts of Christian communities today. A required online class will be held via Zoom on Monday, January 19, 2026; 7:30-9:00 p.m. EST.
$400.00



ACOS United Methodist History (Jamieson)This course will cover over three hundred years of historical developments that contribute to the formation of The United Methodist Church. Special emphasis will be given to the formation of the Wesleyan heritage in the eighteenth century, the adaptation of that tradition to the American scene during the Revolutionary period, and the forces that have shaped Methodism through the last three centuries.
$400.00



ACOS United Methodist Polity (Jamieson)This course in United Methodist Polity is designed to engage students in a dialog on the nature of the church and its ministry, the organization of the church and its theology, and the history of the church that has formed us as the community of faith we are today.
