Upcoming Brethren Academy Level Courses

Courses are open to TRIM students, pastors (earn 2 CEUs) and all interested persons Please note: While we continue to accept students beyond the Registration deadline, on that date we determine whether we have enough students to offer a course. Many courses have required pre-course readings, so students need to be sure to allow enough time to complete those.
