Overview

[Click here to see pictures]

SEAI is designed to prepare you to navigate in a Post-Modern world. This Home Based study program includes lectures from world class teachers. It will give you a foundation in essential theology, apologetics, evangelism, ethics, and many other culturally relevant topics, while remaining rooted in the sure basis of Scripture.

Without having to travel from your home location you can study with excellent teachers and trainers. You will not only learn how to understand and explain the fundamental truths of Christianity, but you will learn how to defend them. You will be given critical instruction on why the Christian faith is not only good, but why it is absolutely true.

A systematic defense of the historic Christian faith will be presented. There will be an analysis of cults and world religions so that you will better understand how to communicate the gospel to those holding a false view of God. An important component of the course will be to give you training on how to effectively present the gospel to those in the present culture. This training in evangelism will be the call to outward action derived from inner knowledge of God and His Book. Furthermore, lectures on culturally relevant ethical topics such as abortion and stem cell research are discussed. A unit on practical ways to implement apologetics and evangelism into your church or other ministry is also presented.

The lectures are broken up into manageable lengths and notes and or outlines are provided to help the student follow and better understand the material. Several short open book quizzes will be given to test the basic comprehension of the student. Upon completion of the lectures, notes, quizzes, and any other assignments an application for completion will be sent to SEAI and if satisfactorily completed a signed diploma will be sent to the student.
