About Hermeneutics Class
"Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures." - Luke 24:45
Do you ever have trouble understanding the scriptures for yourself? Are you looking for a deeper meaning to the scriptures? Do you have a calling to teach in the ministry? If you have answered yes to any of those questions, then Hermeneutics is the place to begin. Hermeneutics entails a study of biblical texts in order to understand not only the historical aspects of the writings but also the significance of these documents for the present as well. Once you finish this class, which is taught by our own, Rev. Dr. David Jefferson Sr., an anointed teacher and preacher, you can begin your journey of scriptural interpretation and see for yourself, the will of God in your life.

Mission and Vision
The purpose of the Hermeneutics Class is
to provide members of the class with the training and tools to examine
the Holy Scriptures and develop a clear understanding of what the
author said, what the author meant and how the words should be applied
in the reader’s current situation. It is further anticipated that upon
finishing the class; an enlightened member will be better able to
confidently teach and or facilitate most family Sunday Bible School or
other types of life application classes.
