Welcome to NTC online

NTC Online is an exciting new initiative, designed for persons who have an interest in learning more about the Bible, theology, church history, or ministry, but do not have the time, nor the need, to pursue a degree-level qualification*.

Delivered by our own NTC Faculty, NTC online provides an opportunity for learning wherever you are and at your own pace. These video-based courses will inspire, challenge and deepen your faith and understanding. *These are not credit-bearing courses for degree level study.

There are two courses currently available, Church History or Reading the Bible, see below for more details and enjoy learning with NTC online.

This unit explores the nature and call of Christian discipleship as a core motif to sustaining life and ministry in complex urban contexts. What are the biblical, theological and practical frameworks that can be discerned for faithful, resilient and relevant urban engagement as Christ-followers? How can Christian discipleship inform and inspire our spirituality, leadership practices and vision for God’s in-breaking, new urban world?

This unit focuses on the specific connections between spirituality, mission and discipleship and the challenges faced by people involved in mission in urban, global cultures. Designed to be delivered in different urban settings, it is concerned with understanding the presence of God outside the church and in unusual places, but able to take Jesus more seriously in personal, communal and public ways. A central concern of this unit is the dualistic framework (sacred/secular) for understanding the experience and activity of God. This unit seeks to address this directly through helping the student to reconceive his/her relationship to God and the world in more resilient, biblical and holistic ways. This unit will also explore the nature and character of sustainable discipleship in relation to contemporary cultural situations and alternative religions and world views.

Interested in finding creative and practical ways to share the good news of Jesus in a post Christian context?
This course provides an examination of holistic approaches to evangelism, and a critical reflection on the Church’s approaches to evangelism. You will explore contemporary expressions of evangelism in the light of a robust Christian understanding of the gospel, and post-Christian 21st century Britain.
