The Vision

Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth, to every nation & tribe & language & people. (Revelation 14:6)

Our Vision

Re-imagining theological education, resource development, & networking, the same grand old story in a global, digital, social media context, for the joy of the church and the glory of Christ

Theological Education

Cloud Theological Institute is a re-imagination of equipping lay leaders in the church implementing tech, cloud-based apps & social media. We offer courses with our own unique, pedagogical style. This includes a hybrid of traditional lecture-assignment & student collaboration. Each course is Word-focused, theological, redemptive-historical, and practical with students being able to directly apply and to earn credit for what they learn in their preaching, teaching, small groups or family context.

Visual Theology

Visual Theology is a re-imagination of theological study & Bible study for oral/visual learners in non-western academic contexts.

Our Biblical Interpretative Method

Interpreting the Word is our unique interpretative method for studying the Word of God. We call it the Redemptive-Historical Inductive Bible Study Method or Gospel-Centered Inductive Bible Study. We use this method in every course and in every session. We also employ it to produce content for learning what the Word says & means.

Our Theological Resource

What is a creed, confession, or catechism? Does theology matter? Why does theology sound different than Scripture at times? How do I prepare for ordination and Gospel Ministry? Leaders in the church have been contemplating these questions for over 2 millennia. Confessing the Word is a resource that unpacks the fundamental, historical, orthodox, Protestant, Reformed statements of faith and analyzes them using a modified version of our interpretative method. We bridge the gap between theology and exegesis making theology accessible and understandable to the lay leader & global pastor.

Our Preaching Resource

Struggling to create a sermon? What is the difference between preaching and teaching? What components should be included? How do you include the gospel & Christ while still being faithful to the text? Proclaiming the Word provides example sermons and recommendations using our unique interpretative method.

Our Apologetic Resource

With so many deconstructing their faith, now more than ever Christian leaders need to understand our faith’s foundation and how to give an answer for our hope in this post-Christian context. Defending the Word Resource provides apologetic resources in engaging & fresh new ways employing our unique interpretative method.

Our Children’s Catechism Resource

Training our children is the fundamental outworking of loving the LORD our God (Deuteronomy 6:4–9). This resource is designed to help parents teach their children the fundamentals of our faith. Click on the pic to get the content of our current project, the Bible Confession
