Institute Summer Classes
4/8/2026 6:30 PM
Idlewild's summer Institute goes from April 8th to June 3rd. Grow deeper in God’s Word this summer in one of four Wednesday Night classes meeting weekly from 6:30-7:45 PM. Together we’ll pray, glorify the Lord, explore Scripture, strengthen our faith and encourage one another in Christ. Registration is just $20.00 per person or you can register as a couple and share a book for the same cost. We'd love to have you join us!
This summer's classes:
1. "Engage the Lost World Around You." Robert Pinkston and Kyle Sellers. "Join us for a practical, Christ-centered journey into everyday evangelism. In this class, we’ll learn how loving our neighbors means prayerfully, graciously, and courageously sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Discover how ordinary conversations and techniques, empowered by the Spirit, can become extraordinary opportunities for eternal impact."
2. "How To Pray." Will Daines and Brian Pate. "Step into the quiet, life-giving practice of intimate prayer. This class will help you draw near to God with confidence, honesty, and joy—learning to listen, to adore, to confess, and to intercede. Deepen your communion with the Father through Jesus Christ, and discover the peace and strength found in His presence."
3. "Systematic Theology." Tommy Campbell and Shane Coris. "Systematic Theology helps us know what we believe, why we believe it, and how those beliefs shape our lives. This class will explore some of the great doctrines of Scripture—God’s Word, the person and work of the Holy Spirit, the nature of the church, and the hope to come—grounding your faith in truth, strengthening your worship, and equipping you to live with clarity and conviction.”
4. "Biblical Marriage." Keith Brickell and friends. "Biblical marriage is God’s wise and beautiful design for covenant love, mutual service, and lifelong faithfulness. This class will examine Scripture’s teaching on the roles of husband and wife, communication, conflict, intimacy, and spiritual leadership, helping couples reflect Christ and His church while building strong, joyful, God-honoring homes together today."
