A cohort-paced, self-paced rhythm that keeps disciples together while making room for local realities.
Meet your 24-person cohort in the Waypoint Introduction Seminar. Learn the tools, expectations, and shared checkpoints that frame the Biblical Formation year.
Each 16-week course includes weekly checkpoints, readings, and practices. You decide when to complete the work during the week while staying aligned with your cohort.
Wrap up each course with a 30-minute conversation on the central topic. Record with one or two classmates. Faculty review every voice and assign follow up if needed.
Your cohort of 24 students starts with the Waypoint Introduction Seminar, then moves through the Biblical Formation core together across the first year. Weekly checkpoints keep everyone aligned while allowing you to pace readings and assignments throughout the week.
In year two you choose an associate pathway—Biblical Studies, Christian Evangelization, or Classical Christian Studies—while staying connected to your cohort. Everyone reconvenes for the associate research seminar before graduation.
Every course concludes with a 30-minute recorded discussion between two or three cohort members. Faculty assess each learner’s contribution as an oral examination. If mastery is uncertain, we assign targeted remedial work or host a one-on-one review.
Faculty stay present throughout the course—offering comments on submissions, nudging you toward deeper reflection, and helping you prepare for each capstone. We walk with the same cohort from start to finish.
If you anticipate technology barriers, let us know—we will help identify workarounds or local support.
Instruction is in English. Students may record capstones in their native language and use pseudonyms when wisdom requires it. We avoid posting recordings publicly and, as bilingual staff or volunteers are available, provide translated summaries or supplementary materials.
Our commitments keep discipleship central and remove barriers for every cohort.
Donors cover courses, assessments, and materials so finances never block participation.
Students may use pseudonyms and record capstones in the language that lets them speak freely.
Faculty walk with the same cohort, offering feedback, prayer, and one-on-one follow up when mastery needs strengthening.
We store only the coursework required for assessment and remove it when the purpose has been fulfilled.
Volunteers provide translated summaries and captions as funding allows so global voices stay engaged.
