Foundations
Designed to assist the new student of the Word of God to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Pet 3:18).” The emphasis is to understand the significance and depth of God’s Word and to aid the student in the development of his own spiritual life.
Doctrine
Salvation doctrines are basic teachings and are the underlying principles for the mechanics of Christian living. It is valuable and important that the Christian understands thoroughly their relationship with the Lord; a good knowledge of these doctrines can be of great help to you in solving problems and making decisions according to God’s viewpoint
History
This type of study provides the Christian with a viewpoint that is quite different from that taken by many historians. While they deal only with surface issues in the interpretations of history, this study of history comes from the divine viewpoint that takes in account God's sovereign purpose or His activity.
Salvation
This course is evangelistic in purpose. The author has hoped that this states God's saving grace can be adapted to the spiritual understanding of the unsaved that they may grasp the way of salvation from these pages and so be led to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved.
ruth
The Ruth study is an account of extreme testing of simple people, people who exhibit their trust in God under great duress. Ruth provides practical application of the concepts of God's grace towards believers. Ruth is an interesting and absorbing story, a true history that provides many benefits and joys to the reader.
titus
Titus is an expositional (verse by verse) Bible Study. This epistle is a good place to learn a great deal about God's plan for your life, and why the Lord requires certain thinking and behavior from believers. It outlines the obligations for holy living, devotion to God, and love and graciousness toward other people.
Frequently Asked Questions
IS THERE A COST TO TAKE THE COURSES?
Our Teachers have been gracious and joyfully sacrificial in volunteering their heart and time to study and teach these courses to our students. However, to help cover the cost of printing and paper, Valley U has a ONE TIME Enrollment Fee of $50. This one time fee covers the first course you take and all other courses that you may want to take in the future. With that said, we do not turn anyone away because of their inability to pay. Overall, Valley U is supported by Christians like you who pray for this effort and share in the expenses.
