Strengthen biblical interpretation, theological judgement, sermon preparation, pastoral understanding, and confidence in handling Scripture.

Free courses and modest pricing are deliberate. NCTS exists to make substantial Bible study available to people who want to grow, teach faithfully, serve well, and understand Scripture with greater care.
