( veritas) - [the truth, reality; truthfulness, telling of truth] "Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth." (John 17:17)
Veritas is a 6- 9-month course that is a prerequisite for membership and leadership at the portico. It addresses areas that are essential to experiencing fullness in the Christian life. Veritas covers the following topics:
scripture
the doctrine of God
creation and sin
soteriology
spiritual warfare
spiritual disciplines
stewardship
missiology
ecclesiology
Learning is done in a very relational environment. Each week those on track gather in a local home to read Scripture and to share their thoughts and learning's as they progress through the material. In addition to our curriculum the tuition includes a copy of Wayne Grudem's "Systematic Theology" in order to further enhance our discussions and understanding of these critical doctrines.
A cost of 60.00 per individual and 100.00/married couple will be collected to cover study materials and Grudem's "Systematic Theology". Scholarships are available for regular portico attenders.
