Courses

The Bethlehem Institute provides rigorous, God-centered Bible and theology courses to men and women living in the Twin Cities area, whether they attend Bethlehem Baptist Church or not.

Courses are available at each of the Bethlehem Baptist Church campuses during the fall and winter/spring semesters, and at the downtown campus during the summer. Typically, 6, 12, and 15-week courses are offered.

Tuition is required for courses (usually $50 for a 12-week course and $25 for a 6-week course) in order to enable us to continue to develop new courses. If finances are a problem, we have a pay-what-you-can-afford policy. Please see more information on Tuition.

God-Centered Living: Christian Hedonism and the Life of Faith

This 12-session course is an introduction to Christian Hedonism, a philosophy of life that is built on the God of the Bible. The course unfolds two key assertions: 1) the God-centeredness of God informs every aspect of the Christian life; and 2) the pursuit of God’s glory and the pursuit of our joy is the same pursuit.
