Good Shepherd College (GSC)
-
In his last letter to his beloved disciple Timothy, Paul gave the essential call of every disciple of Jesus Christ,
“What you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.”
We are commanded to learn first and then to teach others. It is our prayer and vision to make GSC a highly qualified theological and pastoral training for every believer to become God’s shepherd for others.

GSC 102
Livingstone Bible Study
TBD
TBD
Who is Jesus Christ? The answer to this simple question can elucidate many important questions in life. H. Richard Niebuhr expressed the centrality of Jesus Christ in this way: “The life of Jesus Christ is the intelligible event in history that makes all life intelligible.” Until we know the person and life of Jesus Christ, we cannot make a meaningful sense out of our life and our world. Jesus is the most familiar figure in history, yet even many of his followers have not realized the uniqueness and depth of his life. This biblical Christology discloses the salvific significance of Jesus’ life in four areas: the birth, public ministry, passion and resurrection.
