The Biblical Formation certificate is our launch-year, college-level credential. Students begin with the Waypoint Introduction Seminar, progress through seven core courses, and complete an oral capstone for each class before any future specialization.
Begin with a two-week introduction seminar covering tools, policies, and study rhythms. Courses run 8 or 16 weeks with shared checkpoints; readings and assignments are self-paced between those checkpoints.
After completing the Biblical Formation core, you remain connected to peers while awaiting the launch of associate-level pathways and the accompanying research seminar.
Seven 16-week courses (4 cr each), plus a two-week introduction seminar (1 cr) and an integrated apologetics seminar (1 cr). Total 30 credits with guided checkpoints and room for weekly self-paced work.
Total: 30 credits
After year one, associate-level tracks will let you deepen focus areas while staying connected to your peers. Titles, syllabi, and research seminar details are forthcoming.
Each course culminates in a topical capstone conversation. Students record a 30-minute audio or video discussion with one or two peers. Faculty review individual contributions as an oral examination. If mastery is unclear, we assign remedial work or schedule a one-on-one follow up before granting course credit.
Courses are delivered in English. As funding allows, we add translated materials or supplementary resources.
Every course stays on a shared calendar with clear milestones, while most work happens in the windows that fit your week.
Between checkpoints, you guide your own schedule. Lectures, readings, and practice exercises can be completed whenever you have margin.
Each course culminates in a recorded dialogue that serves as an oral examination. Faculty review every participant to confirm mastery.
