Online Training

The Online Training through BLA is a progressive series of classes designed to build upon each other.

Foundations

The Foundations are:

  • The Will of God

  • The Path to Transformation

The Will of God focuses on training in knowing what is right.

Knowing what is right is essential to the Christian walk. God’s Word practically guides us in how to know His will, yet a majority of Christians struggle greatly with this major area of their Christian walk.

The Path to Transformation focuses on training in doing what is right.

We must first know what is right, then we must do it.

How can we walk a path that we can’t even see clearly in front of us?

We believe a majority of Christians in today’s church struggle with understanding what the path to maturity looks like and would benefit from learning The Foundations.
