Purpose
As a church, Jesus calls each of us to make disciples. (Matthew 28:18-20).
The word disciple means learner. If we're to be disciples who make disciples, education and
equipping are essential to be faithful and fruitful in the mission the Lord has given us.
The Woodmen Institute desires to serve men and women who want to grow as disciples in their
knowledge of the Bible and theology and want to have this knowledge transform their everyday
lives. The Bible is for everyone. Our goal is to make the Bible and theology accessible to everyone
through transformative learning environments.
The Woodmen Institute focuses on three fundamental aspects of Christian discipleship:
- Christian Story
- Christian Belief
- Christian Formation
In each class, we’ll spend extensive time together in the Scriptures. We'll study the doctrines Christ-followers have held throughout the history of the church and we'll consider together how our
participation in the Christian story invites us into a life of worship and mission.
