In partnership with Ambrose University, we're offering accredited seminary classes hosted at FAC Deerfoot as part of the new School of Ministry at First Alliance Church (previously called "Ministry Pathways").

We'll be running one class per semester, and it's open to undergrad students, graduate students, or anyone who wants to sit in. Whether you're pursuing a ministry degree or just hungry to grow, there's a seat for you!

PT 501 - Personal Formation and Development Course

Course Description: This course will help you develop a "Rule of Life" that fits your personality, season of life, and unique situation.  It explores the nature and goal of spiritual formation and examines our rich inheritance of spiritual practices from Scripture and church history. You will also be asked to undertake an intensive study of one biblical or historical figure in light of your spiritual formation (and, if warranted, deformation). Overall, the emphasis will be on cultivating increasing Christ-likeness expressed through your God-given personality.
