Perspectives

Sundays, January 11–May 3, 2026  |  5-8 p.m.  |  Commons

Perspectives is an awe-inspiring comprehensive course that has profoundly impacted hundreds of thousands of students during the past 45+ years. From Genesis to the prophets, Jesus to the early Church, and St. Augustine to the present, students learn how God moves, how the global Church responds, and the remaining task of world evangelization.

Perspectives isn’t a course solely about world missions. It’s a study program rooted in Scripture clarifying each believer’s remarkable opportunity to co-labor with God in his global purpose.

Perspectives on the World Christian Movement is a 15-lesson discipleship class designed to help believers from all walks of life regardless of age, gender or vocation learn how they can get threaded into God’s story of redeeming people from every tribe, tongue and nation to himself. 

The spring semester of Perspectives begins on January 11 at 5 p.m. in the Commons. The cost, including dinner each night, is $275/person ($100 discount for the first 20 St. Andrew’s people who register using the code SAC100-025196). Sign up in 2025 and get an additional $30 off with the code EBIRD-024585. Register via the QR code or the link on our website.

Childcare vouchers are available by request by emailing Beka LeMaster.

The first session is free to try out, but they do ask that you sign up so they can have an accurate headcount.
