Milligan at Mountain

At Mountain, we have a mantra that reminds us to Stay Humble and Stay Hungry. And one of the many ways we tap into remaining humble and hungry is to be life-long learners. So, are you hungry for diving deeper into God’s Word and theology study? Do you enjoy connecting to Jesus through your intellect and learning from great teachers? Maybe you’re curious about certain topics, or you just love being in an environment with other disciples as we’re all on mission together, with humility and a hunger to grow in our leadership, understanding, and our walk with Jesus.

Everyone is invited to come and learn! Milligan at Mountain is designed for anyone who desires to grow spiritually and intellectually, to study the Bible, to be challenged in new ways, and the option of earning college credit just so happens to be a great bonus! 

What is Milligan at Mountain?

Milligan at Mountain classes offer a great opportunity to take a closer look at the Bible and discover its impact on the world around us… and you don’t have to be interested in receiving college credit to experience the full impact these classes have to offer! In partnership with Milligan University, “Milligan at Mountain” classes are full college courses (accredited and transferable) taught by Milligan University professors and Mountain Staff specifically for the Mountain community!

These courses can be audited (no need for homework or tests, just show up for the fun!) or taken for 3 credit hours (transferable to any university). Classes are available for a negotiated rate of $300 if taking for credit or $150 for audit. To inquire about scholarships, reach out to the Intern & Resident Coordinator, Liz Schilling at lizschilling@mountaincc.org.

Milligan at Mountain is for anyone! Whether you’re 16 or 96, we all have more to learn and experience. You’re invited to be a part of this time of study and growth to dig deeper into the Bible, discover its impact on the world, and consider our own personal journeys.

Spring 2025 courses

“Ancient Prophets with a Modern Message" (BIBL 301)

Class Instructor: Dr. Lee Magness from Milligan University 

Join Dr. Lee Magness in a study of the 8th Century Prophets – Hosea, Amos, Isaiah, and Micah. These Prophets may just sound like names buried in the books of the Old Testament and barely familiar to most of us. But they contain powerful and relevant messages from God about all aspects of our lives—economic, political, social, and spiritual. So join us, for deep instruction and lively conversation guided by these important scriptures. 

The course runs from mid-January through April, including three in-person Saturday sessions on February 15, March 22, and April 12. Sign up now to start your new year deep in the Word.

“Preaching and Teaching for Discipleship” (CMIN 276)

Class Instructor: Luke Erickson, Executive Pastor 

God’s story transcends time. From beginning to end and all through the messy middle, God is creating and re-creating, leading and disciplining, rescuing and rehabilitating until the incredible climax when God’s people are redeemed, Jesus is victorious, and God is all in all! This unparalleled story begs to be told and retold. More than that, it is to be lived and experienced by each one of us. God has long been on the pursuit: who will tell my story? Who will preach my message of truth and grace? Who will teach my people my ways and help them find life in my name? This course is for anyone wanting to answer that question: “I will.” 

The course will explore the content, context, and consequences of preaching and teaching in the life of the church. Considerable attention will be given to the techniques of oral delivery and the process of moving from the biblical text to the preaching/teaching event. This course is for anyone wanting to grow in their ability to teach God's Word in a way that advances our mission to make disciples.

This course will meet at the Mountain Rd Campus on Mondays 6 – 9pm from January 27 to April 28 (off March 10 and April 21) with an additional class session on Saturday, April 26.

Please complete BOTH registrations below to register for the course.
