Charter Oak Church created the Institute to equip disciples to go deeper in theological education and ministry leadership. In the spring and fall a variety of seminars is offered monthly and a multi-week course. These specifically focus on four critical areas: the Bible, leadership development, theological knowledge, and spiritual formation.  

 

Deeper engagement in ministry development with intentional hands-on experience is available with paid multi-month internships and year-long residencies. 

 

Participation is open to everyone regardless of your home church. 

 

There are no educational prerequisites prior to registration.

 

 

Seminars and Courses focus on four key categories:

The Gospel:

What it is and Why it Matters

February 13 (Thursday)
6:00-8:30pm

​

​What is the Gospel? The word itself means “good news.” The Christian story revolves around it, yet many of us cannot clearly define the Gospel. This seminar will explore the Biblical definition and expound on how a deep comprehension of the gospel will enrich our ability to share the good news with others and affect how we go about making disciples.

TESTIMONIALS

The topic and information were so foundational and Pastor Ben presented it all with such enthusiasm and clarity. It was a perfect book and topic for me, pulling together some other things I’ve studied lately- as they say, “the light bulb turned on."
