Teleios (Spiritual Development)
Definition: “…adulthood, full-grown, mature – in mind and understanding; in knowledge of the truth; in faith and virtue… brought to its end, finished, wanting nothing necessary to completeness.”

The educational philosophy of the e4 Teleios School of Theology is five fold:
1. The Ephesians 4 gifts are primary for equipping the saints for the work of service
2. Courses should provide quality, life-changing theological training at a minimal cost
3. Courses should be taken in the context of the believing community (ie. local church)
4. Courses should be relevant to the holistic Christian life/ministry (practical application)
5. Courses should result in the making of disciples both nationally and internationally

Courses from the first three phases may be taken in any order on a “Completed/Retake” basis. Each course costs between $30-$45: the cost of the textbooks + $5 administrative fee. Registrations are accepted only if a minimum of two believers take the same course together from within the same house church or house church network (these courses must be taken in community with others who can experience, process, and apply the courses together). In order to access the content, you must be enrolled in one of the courses (courses are password protected. Click upon the enrolled course, enter the password, and view the course page. There will be downloads available for each course as courses progress. If a student receives a “Completed” course assessment, a “Certificate of Completion” is issued. Upon completion of all courses, a diploma is issued during a community celebration.
