EQUIPPING LEADERS FOR A VIBRANT 21ST CENTURY CHURCH
It’s more than a catchy tagline or a noble goal. We’ve designed each course in our curriculum specifically to equip you as a leader. In the Greek language, the word “artios” as it is used in Eph. 4:12 embodies three concepts. These are the concepts which serve as the pillars of our curriculum. Find your calling:
Biblical Theology
Christian leaders must have a clear understanding of what Scripture means and how to live it in daily life. Therefore, the Bible is the foundation for all of Artios’ curriculum. In addition to exploring the entire scope of Scripture, learning its story, characters, themes, and lessons, Artios students acquire the skills necessary to read, understand, interpret, and apply Scripture to your leadership context.
Restorative Leadership
A fundamental task of Christian leadership is to restore the broken-hearted and make the church a healing community for those who are suffering. We develop leaders through courses designed to clarify your calling, strengthen your emotional health, instill spiritual disciplines, and teach you to lead like Jesus.
Missional Engagement
The highest call of Christian leadership is the Great Commission: communicating the gospel and making disciples for Jesus Christ. Whatever specific leadership tasks we perform, it must always be in service to these two greater goals. Missional leadership requires an understanding of the context of our mission—the world around us. Artios equips you to build bridges for sharing the gospel and leading others—Christian and non-Christian—to embracing a worldview that is centered on Christ and Scripture.
