A 12-week discipleship course that grounds you in what we believe, how we read the Bible, and what it looks like to be part of this house. Everything at Sound of Heaven flows through here.
Foundations is not Christianity 101. It is the entry point into the heart of how we do church. Twelve weeks walking through how we interpret Scripture, the Jewish roots of the Christian faith, the gifts of the Spirit, grace, covenant, and the Kingdom of God. Everything taught through Jesus as the final and perfect revelation of the Father.
Whether you have been following Jesus for thirty years or you are just starting to ask questions, this course is going to ground you in ways you probably have not experienced before. We do not pull random verses out of context. We read the Bible the way it was meant to be read, through its original language, its culture, and the covenant it was written in.
Everything at Sound of Heaven flows through this course. It is the only way into Core and Vitals.
12 weeks of biblical and theological grounding. Required for everything that comes next.
Our serving team. You are on a schedule, you are in the quarterly meetings, you are actively building what we are doing here.
Our leadership development program. By invite only. Reserved for those carrying weight in the house.
Tap any week to see what we walk through. Every session builds on the last, so the order matters.
What the church is, why it exists, what it is called to function as, and why gathering matters. We look at the purpose of the local body and why showing up and being part of a community of believers is a core part of the Christian life.
Understanding what the fivefold is, what each role looks like, how these gifts function within the body, and why Sound of Heaven operates as a fivefold apostolic ministry.
Who Jesus is historically and spiritually, what salvation truly means, and what we are saved from and saved for. This is the foundation of everything we build on.
Discovering your calling and learning how to live with intentionality and purpose. This week is about uncovering the unique mission God has placed on the people in the room.
Now that you are walking in your mission, adversity is going to come. This week is about how you face it, push through it, and grow through the resistance that comes with living on purpose.
If you do not understand covenants, you do not understand the Bible. Why covenant is the key to understanding Scripture, the difference between the old and new covenants, and how covenant clarity changes the way you read everything.
How to properly read and understand the Bible. Walking through some of the harder scriptures, learning how to trace the story from the fall to Christ, and applying the Arc of Redemption that we teach on all the time.
We live our lives off the Scriptures, so what are they? Where did they come from, how were they formed, how were they preserved, and why are they trustworthy.
What worship is, why it matters, and how it transforms you. How to cultivate a lifestyle of worship and how to set an atmosphere of worship inside the church.
Why generosity matters and why giving is part of Christian discipleship. How generosity forms the heart, not just with finances but with your time, your resources, and everything God has put in your hands.
A focus on what the end of the age actually means in the Bible. Not the rapture. Not the end of the world. What the biblical writers were actually talking about and how it applies to us today.
What it looks like to live as a sent one carrying the Kingdom into your daily life, your relationships, and your purpose. How to get connected and be part of the local body, and what that looks like here at Sound of Heaven.
This is not a course that pulls verses out of context to make a point. Every passage we cover is interpreted through Jesus as the final and perfect revelation of the Father. He is not one voice in the Bible. He is the lens for the whole thing.
We read the Bible the way it was meant to be read. Original language. Original culture. Original covenant. When you learn to read it that way, everything starts making sense in a new way.
You have been in church your whole life. You have read the Bible a dozen times. This course is going to take what you already know and reframe it in ways you have probably never been taught. You will leave seeing things you missed for decades.
You have never opened a Bible. You are not sure what you believe. You just started wondering if there might be something to all of this. This is the safest, clearest, most honest entry point. You belong here from week one.
Foundations is not a drop-in class. You show up. You do the homework. You become part of the group. Every session builds on the one before it, so if you miss without watching the makeup, you fall behind everyone else.
One absence is allowed across the full 12 weeks. That is it. You also get a video makeup link if life happens, but you have to watch it to stay aligned with the group.
If you cannot commit to that, this is not the right cohort for you. Wait for the next one. If you can, this is the best decision you will make this year.
Fill out the form below to lock in your seat for Cohort 4. We will follow up with everything you need to know to be ready for week one.
One absence is allowed across the entire 12-week course. If you miss, you are required to watch the video makeup before the next session to stay aligned with the group. More than one missed week without makeup means you would need to wait for the next cohort.
This is the perfect place for you. Foundations is designed for every level, from people who have never opened a Bible to people who have been following Jesus for decades. Nobody is going to make you feel behind. You belong here from week one.
Each week you will have reading and a few reflection questions tied to the topic we covered. It is not heavy academic work, but it is enough to help the material actually stick. Plan for about 30 to 45 minutes per week outside of the in-person session.
Every participant gets a login to our Foundations portal. After each week's session, the recorded teaching becomes available for you to review at your own pace. Great for catching up if you have a busy week or just want to go deeper on a topic.
No. Foundations is open to anyone who wants to grow deeper in their faith and understand what we believe. That said, completing Foundations is required if you want to join Core, our serving team, or be considered for Vitals, our leadership track.
Foundations is free. We provide all of the teaching, materials, and portal access at no cost. Your only investment is showing up faithfully for 12 weeks.
We run four cohorts a year, alternating between Monday and Thursday nights. If Cohort 4 does not fit your schedule, the next one is right around the corner. Reach out to the church for the most current schedule.
Completing Foundations unlocks Core, our serving team, where you start actively building what we are doing here. It is also the prerequisite for being considered for Vitals, our invite-only leadership development program. Everything at Sound of Heaven flows through this course.
