IDEAL Courses Offered
The IDEAL institute offers two basic programs of study: the Plan Básico and the Plan Ministerial. The Plan Básico offers 11 classes on themes ranging from “What the Bible Teaches” to “The Growing Church.” This program can be completed in one year. Offered once a month on either Saturday mornings or Thursday and Fridays nights on the seminary campus, the classes aim to provide the student with the knowledge and basic tools for a stable and fruitful Christian life.
After completing the Plan Básico, students can move on to the Plan Ministerial. The Plan Ministerial is a two-year program of 14 classes that continues to provide courses in Bible and theology as well as on ministry in the local church. This group studies topics such as “Job and the Patriarchs” and “Pedagogy.” Classes meet once a month on Monday and Tuesday nights on the campus of Denver Seminary.
