Level 1: Module 1 – Foundations Course

Having a solid, well-built foundation is essential in building anything that is to last. If the foundation is not solid, the structure that is built on it no matter how sturdy, will soon crumble and fall. This is a principle recognized by all cultures and societies. This is an easy principle for us to grasp and that is why Jesus used this metaphor to instruct us concerning the proper building of our lives and the corporate life of the Church. Foundations are very important. This course is designed to lay a strong foundation in your life so that everything built on top will not crumble but last.
