What is All Saints?
All Saints is a training center that offers accessible, substantive courses in theology, spirituality, and leadership.
How is All Saints related to Our Lord’s Community Church?
All Saints is housed in Our Lord’s Community Church, and Dr. Bingaman is also a pastor in the church. However, All Saints students come from churches of various denominations and traditions, across Oklahoma City and elsewhere. Our desire is that students benefit from All Saints training while staying connected to their own local church communities.
Who are the courses for?
The center is named “All Saints” because the courses are designed to equip all the saints, as Ephesians 4:12 directs. All Saints students might be in their 20s or 60s, might be women or men, might be lay people or might be working in ministry or on a church staff. What they share in common is a desire to invest in thoughtful discussion and study, and a desire to do move toward a life lived in communion with God.
What will I get out of the courses?
You will gain depth of knowledge, relationships with those in your courses and cohorts, sustainable practices for engaging with God. And…though we cannot guarantee this, our sincere desire is that you will experience God’s presence and encounter the Holy Spirit personally during your time with All Saints.
Are there any prerequisites or requirements to be accepted for classes?
No, there are no prerequisites—just a desire to learn.
When and where do classes meet?
Classes meet at Our Lord’s Community Church, 11400 N. Portland, Oklahoma City, OK 73120.
What will the workload be like?
Classes will meet once per week for 2 or 2.5 hours. While you’ll have between 10 and 30 pages of reading each week, the majority of the learning will be done through the class discussions.
I have not taken this kind of course since college! What if I am not sure I can handle the studies?
All Saints courses may stretch you as you think, read, discuss, and participate. But the courses are not for ivory-tower thinkers or theology geeks. The curriculum is designed to make sure that ordinary people in the midst of everyday life can benefit. There is no pass or fail; if you commit to engaging with the material, we guarantee you’ll get something out of it!
