Exploring Christology

An introductory online unit for anyone who wants to know more about the study of Christ

Exploring Christology has been created around the Worship and Preaching Competencies for Biblical studies from the “Assembly Standards and Competencies for the Formation and Education for the Specified Ministry of Lay Preacher”. So, those training for the ministry of Lay Preaching, and those needing to undertake training for the Worship and Preaching Competencies for Pastors (as these are the same), can be assured they are receiving training to help them meet these competencies.

However, Exploring Christology was also written and developed to encourage faith and discipleship formation. So, it is also a great unit for:

Worship leaders
people undertaking a Period of Discernment
Lay Preachers looking for some continuing education
people who would like to explore Christology as a way of deepening their faith and relationship with God and
anyone just generally interested in knowing more about the study of Christ.

Exploring Christology covers:

Christological questions and historical development
The ministry and mission of Jesus
Images of the Christ
Christ and the church
Why did Jesus die?
The work of salvation and atonement
The resurrection and its meaning
Christology in context
Christ in the Uniting Church in Australia
Jesus Christ and Religious Pluralism

Exploring Christology is offered through access to online learning materials and a Zoom class.
