CHURCH-BASED CLASSES
Theological Training
in Your Local Church
Establish an Institute. Equip Your People.

TRAIN WHERE YOU ARE
Launch an Institute
Whether your church is large or small, rural or urban—ITM can help you establish a theological institute in your local context. We’ll guide you in setting up a simple, church-based institute so you can offer trusted theological training to your own congregation.
Once your institute is in place, you can begin offering structured, 10-lesson courses using ITM’s curriculum. Classes are led by your local pastor or church leader and supported by ITM’s teaching videos, workbooks, and guides. With flexible formats—Sunday evenings, midweek gatherings, or weekend intensives—you can equip your people with accessible, trusted theological training.

THE PATHWAY TO GET STARTED
Ready to Launch Your Institute?

Become an ITM Partner Church
Establish an ITM Institute at your church. Gain access to a custom-branded webpage for your church, sign-up forms for participants, and promotional materials.

Access the Resources and Run the Class
Video lessons, workbooks, teaching guides, and promotional materials—all ready for you to use. A local pastor or church leader facilitates the course on a schedule that fits your church—weekly, bi-weekly, or as a weekend intensive.

Your Members Grow
Church members can earn an ITM Certificate in Foundational Biblical Studies—all from within your local church.
This accessible, church-based program features four theologically rich courses: How to Understand the Bible, Biblical Theology, Systematic Theology, and Foundations of Christian Maturity. Students will gain a deeper knowledge of Scripture, a firm grasp of essential Christian doctrines, and practical insight for living a gospel-shaped life.
Whether students are looking to strengthen their faith or serve more effectively, this certificate track provides a strong foundation for life and ministry.
