Practical Theology 1

Practical Theology 1, an eight-week class, will run from January 12 to , March 9, 2026. 

The Practical Theology classes are based on a curriculum prayerfully and collaboratively developed in-house by our Hope Soul Care team over the past several years. In this class you will experience live teaching and participate in breakout groups, that will help us explore how God's word can be powerfully applied in our daily experience of suffering, in our daily battle against sin, and in our daily pursuit of holiness.

Practical Theology 1 focuses specifically on suffering, sin and repentance and our daily pursuit of holiness. Practical Theology 2 builds on the foundation laid in Practical Theology 1 and looks at what it looks like to walk in the Lord in faith as we pursue humility, contentment, peace, love, joy, gratitude and hope.

The required prerequisites for Practical Theology 1 include Following Jesus, Heart Resurgence, or other Hope classes / ministry involvement  (i.e. Men's Ministry, Women's Ministry, Hope Institute classes). Please email SoulCareClasses@HopeOakville.ca for more information or if you are unclear about prerequisites.

The printed curriculum is $50. You will receive the material on the first night of class. This book contains the content for both Practical Theology 1 and Practical Theology 2, so no additional purchases are required after this initial payment.

Throughout this curriculum, different articles are referenced. There is an option for you to purchase all the articles (supplementary readings) in one book for an additional $30.

(*Please note that Practical Theology 2, also an eight-week class, will be offered in the Spring of 2026).

*If the cost of the class presents any difficulty, please feel free to reach out to us at SoulCare@HopeOakville.ca. We would be happy to offer assistance.
