Welcome to the On-line version of the Systematic Theology Bible
Study Course presented by the Hutchinson Church of God. These
lessons are adapted from the book, "Systematic
Theology," by Alva G. Huffer. We hope that these lessons can
provide you with a better understanding of the Scripture and a
closer walk with God.
If you are interested in other On-Line lessons, we have compiled a
list of other Bible Lessons on the Web. Click here
to see it.
To start, click on one of the lessons to the left. Or click here
to see the index page that contains the titles of each lesson and
a link to each answer format as well. When you are done you can
fill out the optional questions for that lesson. These questions
are then reviewed by a minister of the Church of God associated
with the Church of God General Conference and the results are sent
to you by e-mail. If you would like to have your answers reviewed,
please submit the registration form at the bottom of this page.
This will be sent to the Church of God General Conference and
assigned to an available minister who will then send you his
e-mail address. Then, for each lesson you complete, you put that
minister's e-mail address in your answer sheet and he will review
it for you and send you the results.
If you have registered but have not received a
response for over one week, please Click on "Exit
Lessons" and then please e-mail
the church. You may also phone the church office at
320-234-3527.
The Systematic Theology Lessons
started as an idea by Vivian P. Kirkpatrick. It was discussed with Gaylene
Kirkpatrick more than a year and a half before work started on it. The
idea was discussed also with Pastor V. E. Kirkpatrick II and Elder Lee
Moore, of the Hector Church of God, as Vivian and Gaylene tried to decide
how to best implement a page of this type and if their skills were up to
this task. After some of the major revisions to the Hector Church of God
Web page as well as Vivian's graduation from college allowing him more
free time, Vivian and Gaylene thought the time was right to begin this
work.
Gaylene and Vivian took a week and created a prototype of the first lesson
and the questions to go with it. After getting the bugs out of it, it was
demonstrated to Pastor V. E. Kirkpatrick II. Then permission was sought
from the General Conference. After adding the copyrights, a link was added
from the main page with a warning that this was still in testing.
Gaylene and Vivian then scanned and rewrote the lessons and formatted them
with HTML. Next the scripting was written for the CGI Bin. Due to errors
that creep in with scanning software and the coders' inability to spell, a
proofreader was definitely needed. At this point editing started. Then the
test question pages were written (no scanning) by Vivian with the CGI
written by Gaylene. The proofreaders that helped with this page were
Marjorie Bolhous, Frances Johnson, and Paula Kirkpatrick.
Besides proofreading, these people also helped iron out the usability
issues. Vivian and Gaylene would like to thank these people for all of
their hard work helping put the final touches on this project.
We had a major revision in April of 2001. The Hector Church of God page
was discontinued and a new home was needed for the Systematic Theology
Lessons. A new church plant was being started in Hutchinson, MN. Vivian P.
and Gaylene were asked to be the web-masters of this new site. The
decision was made that the Hutchinson Church of God would be able to host
these lessons. With the new location, we gave the site a small graphical
face-lift.
If available
I
would like to receive more information about the Church
of God, Faith of Abraham's churches and programs in my
area.
I would like no
information to be sent to me other than the results of
each lesson.
