If your goal is to be an educated layperson or a lay-leader in the church, then these classes are for you. We recommend that you start with the core classes. Once you are done, then you can pick and chose electives depending on your interests. For further study, most of these classes have a seminary-level counterpart in Advanced Srtudies. The classes listed below without links are waiting for funding.
