Tomorrow from 3.30 to 7.00 pm
we'll have the plenary session for
students of foundation and advanced years of Porterbrook - Campus Bologna.
This meeting will be held in
Nuova Vita Church and we expect about
15 students for the foundation years and
15 for the advanced years.
The Foundation Year 1 students will interact with these modules:
The first module is Gospel Community,
led by Gianluca Derudas, co-pastor of Nuova Vita.
In this session, students will interact with these units:
1. A gospel community (Romans 12:1)
2. A distinctive community (Romans 12:2)
3. A diverse community (Romans 12:3-8)
The Christian life is to be lived in the context of community on display
to the world.
Taking Romans 12 as its key text, this course will help
you learn what Christian community should look like and how it is rooted
in the gospel. Through the course you’ll be challenged to think about
your own role in the church and be helped to build community on mission
around the gospel.
The second module is Evangelism,
led by Stefano Mariotti, co-pastor of ImpattoABudrio.
In this session, students will interact with these units:
1. The message
2. The messenger
3. Building relationships
When Jesus captivates hearts, and lives are shaped by the gospel,
evangelism happens far more naturally and frequently in everyday
conversation. This course doesn't teach techniques but a gospel view of
everyday life to help Christians help non-Christians to understand the
gospel. It gives us a big vision of Jesus and teaches us the benefits of
doing evangelism as part of a church community that lives ordinary life
with gospel intentionality.
The Advanced Year 2 students will interact with these modules:
The first module is Pastoral Care Part One,
led by Mark Brucato, co-pastor of Nuova Vita.
In this session, students will interact with these units:
1. Pastoral care and the Christian: part one
2. Pastoral care and the Christian: part two
3. Pastoral care and the Christian community
All Christians have a responsibility to pastor one another by speaking
the gospel in love.
This course gives us a biblical definition of
pastoral care, interacts with secular approaches to helping others and
outlines a biblical approach to change.
It sets the foundation for
Pastoral Care Part Two.
The second module is
Bible Truth In Missional Perspective,
led by Gianpaolo Aranzulla, pastor of Forte Torre.
In this session, students will interact with these units:
The Nicene Creed
1. The triune God in a fragmented world
2. The sovereign God in an anxious world
3. The creator God in a material world
All Christians need a solid grounding in the foundational doctrines of
the Christian faith.
In this course you will walk through key doctrines
with the help of the Nicene Creed, working them through to practical
application in life and mission.
The course encourages students to
reconnect theology to practice and to enjoy big truths about God and the
gospel in the routines of everyday life.
