TFL

Theological Foundations for Leaders (TFL) classes are for Perimeter Church members who are interested in pursuing leadership positions within the church, such as discipleship group leader, prayer leader, shepherdess, marriage mentor, officer, etc.

Please note that faithful attendance is an important part of TFL. You can miss up to two classes but any more than two and you will have to retake the class at a later date to be considered as having completed it.

TFL is a 10 - 12-week study in systematic theology using the Westminster Confession of Faith as the principal study resource. This class is offered several times a year—and is our primary equipping class for future leaders. It concludes with a final exam.

During the course, participants work through weekly assignments outlined in a student manual and read a number of books.

Along with these reading materials, there are audio resources included in-class participation. These resources may be purchased in the Perimeter Church bookstore, or are available on the TFL resources page. Once you register for a class you will receive more specific information regarding resources.

During the class, we will cover all of the material using interaction and discussion rather than lecture. It will not be a simple response to fill-in-the-blank questions. You can typically expect two and a half to three hours of preparation each week. As you can see by the books covered, the class will be rich and challenging. If you have an interest in preparing for leadership, or would like to better understand Perimeter's theological positions, this would be the class for you.

In addition to the registration fee, you will be responsible for several resources. All of the resources are available in the Perimeter bookstore. The following resource will need to be purchased in the Perimeter bookstore, while others will be available for download online after you have registered for the class:
