Good Shepherd College (GSC)

The goal of Good Shepherd College (GSC) is to learn God’s word and truth in order to lead others in spiritual care and growth. 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.

Courses

GSC 101

Cornerstone Bible Study*

The first course of GSC explains the most foundational doctrines of the Christian faith through biblical narratives and theological interpretation.  This sought-after class studies the doctrine of salvation, the Trinity, creation, Christ, the Holy Spirit, theological anthropology, and the last days in an engaging way that makes the core Christian beliefs easy for everyone to understand and appreciate.

*Cornerstone Bible Study is a prerequisite for all other GSC classes

GSC 102

Living Life Bible Study

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.

John Discipleship I

The story about how “Son of Thunder” became “Apostle of love,” has touched many people’s hearts with the same power of God’s love.  This study will reveal that the secret of discipleship lies in the discovery of Jesus’ transforming love.  Besides refreshing lectures, weekly reflection writing and sharing will deepen one’s understanding of the Bible as every story becomes my own story.

Prerequisite: Cornerstone Bible Study, Church Membership

Seven Realities for Experiencing God

Henry Blackaby's "Experiencing God" was one of the most beloved and influential biblical practical studies in the world.  It was translated in more than 40 languages and sold millions of copies.  The new version of this study will help you understand the basic spiritual principles of experiencing God in the holistic way.  This study is based on a daily devotion of 20-30 minutes (five times a week) and a weekly sharing.

John Discipleship II

The second part of John Discipleship continues the beloved disciples’ witness of transforming love of Christ challenging many existential issues of our faith in God such as the real motive of following Christ, the question of true freedom, the power of the most personal revelation, the analogy of shepherd and sheep, the nature of resurrection faith and the exemplary posture of being a witness for Christ.
