The church audit program serves members of congregations which support the school with at least $1200/year ($100/month). Members of these congregations may audit select courses each semester for $50 per course. That’s right – any member of a supporting congregation can attend the same graduate courses as credit students and learn from world class professors for next to nothing!
What is an auditor?
An auditor takes a course, but does not receive credit. Auditors don’t have to do any assignments or even come to class every time if they have a conflict. Some will read some or all of the assigned texts and even take the exams, others will simply come to the class meetings to hear the lectures. Click here for registration information.
What courses are available?
HST offers a variety of courses in ministry and theology, and we try to make as wide a range as possible to our church auditors. These are the upcoming church audit courses. Click the course name for the syllabus (if available), and the professors name for information about the professor.
Summer 2022
Evangelism, Discipleship, & Church Planting: Dr. Steve Cloer
(One week intensive, June 6-10, Monday -Friday, 8:00 – 5:00) On campus only
What is the gospel? How does one share the gospel? What does it look like to be an evangelistic church? What skills are needed to start new churches? We will spend time understanding what the gospel is and discuss key principles about how to share the gospel effectively. We will study discipleship and what it looks like to have a church that contains a discipleship culture. Finally, we talk about the need for church planting and models for various church plants.
Gospel of Luke: Dr. Peter Rice
(One week intensive, June 6-10, Monday -Friday, 8:00 – 5:00) On campus or Zoom
Delve into a study of the text, background, and message of the book of Luke. As different theological perspectives of Luke are explored, students will be guided to integrate Luke’s gospel into their spiritual life and to lead others in this pursuit.
