SUMMARY

 

A Brief Overview of The Church of England

Thursday

In this seminar we will be looking at the pivotal events that occurred in England that shaped the formation of the church in America. We will look at how many of the structures and frameworks that we hold today as core values came as a result of events that took place in England before the colonies were even formed.  

Jamestown and the Thirteen Colonies

Thursday

In this seminar we will be exploring the early settlements, their theological views and the shaping features that helped form the church in America. We will get a sense of the great sacrifices that the early settlers made as well as the monumental changes in the structure of the church that they advanced.  

The Colonial Period

Thursday

In this seminar we will be looking at the various denominations that formed in America and where they settled. In addition, we will be exploring the first and second great awakenings to understand the impact they had on the church as we understand it today.
