The Center

The Center for Theological Study and Discipleship

The Center for Theological Study and Discipleship will be an ongoing training program, designed to train men and women – church planters, pastoral candidates, and lay leaders– for discipleship, growth, and for leadership in the church and community.

The mission of The Center is to engage the “head, heart, and hands” by designing a program that will partner with seminaries and international ministries to restore the necessary and deep connection between theological training and the fellowship of the local church. Our hope is to bring the best of what theological education has to the local church, while bringing the best of the local church to theological education.

Study with The Center for Theological Study and Discipleship

The Center for Theological Study and Discipleship, or “The Center,” will be hosting three cohorts during the Spring of 2024, offering 10-week classes from the Foundations Certificate Curriculum of ThirdMill Institute. Our Sunday cohort will be studying Biblical Foundations while the other two weekday cohorts will study Theological Foundations, both working towards a Foundation Certificate. The Institute’s program is provided free of charge and is open to everyone regardless of previous education.

The Thirdmill Institute is a certificate program affiliated with Thirdmill Seminary to provide free, seminary-level, biblical, and theological training for anyone interested in ministry. The cohorts will be done in a “reverse classroom,” watching videos and doing work on your own before meeting with other leaders from around the city for discussion and application with a seasoned Christian leader.

Theological Foundations (The Apostle’s Creed and Building Your Theology)

The Center’s Spring 2024 Cohorts will be studying towards the completion of coursework for the Foundation Certificate. They will meet weekly to discuss the material at First Presbyterian Church of San Antonio, 404 N. Alamo Street, San Antonio, TX 78205. Because mentoring and discipleship are provided, the size of the cohorts will be limited. Early registration is encouraged.
