Masterclass
Mastering Reformed Theology
​The following online course in Reformed theology is a series of 10 short videos which gives the Reformed perspective on all major theological issues throughout church history. The intent is that after watching and understanding these 10 videos, you will be equipped to reform your local PCUSA church to adhere to sound Reformed Biblical doctrine.
In order to restore sound and Biblical doctrine to our churches, it is crucial to provide theological education that is rich and detailed, but also easily accessible and comprehensible. We collaborate with Theology Matters, an organization of ministers and seminary professors in the PCUSA dedicated to providing rich theological education in the Reformed tradition. We also collaborate with the online influencer Richard Ackerman (aka "Redeemed Zoomer") who is tasked with distilling seminary-level educational material into short YouTube videos which are available for free to the public.
