MB Seminary’s Teaching Church partnership with Willingdon Church
Developing church leaders for today and tomorrow
Teaching Churches
Teaching Churches are academic partnerships between MB Seminary and congregations. The partnership provides students as well as non-credit learners with church-based education and training.
Next Offering at Willingdon Church
Theological Anthropology September 10-12, 2026
What does it mean to be a human being created in the image of God? What is the pattern for human existence, and what is the goal? This course will examine the biblical witness concerning human being, both individually and collectively. We will construct a picture of humanity based on a synthesis of biblical teaching. We will consider the problem of sin and the human condition, as well as the various limitations that are part of human existence. In response to these considerations, we will identify principles to guide a properly missional approach to living humanly in God’s economy.
Life and Teachings of Jesus November 19-21, 2026
This course explores the life, mission, and theological identity of Jesus Christ through the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, with an emphasis on final-text exegesis and canonical unity. Students will critically engage the Gospels as narrative and theological witness to Jesus, shaped by distinct literary and historical contexts yet converging around his identity as Messiah, Son of God, and inaugurator of God’s kingdom. Through careful exegesis, guided readings, collaborative theological reflection, and Spirit-led interpretation within community, students will grow in their ability to interpret Scripture and live as Christ-centred disciples in today’s world.
