CCOA's Chartered Teaching Ministry Is Sophia Divinity School

In all aspects of our teaching, Sophia Divinity School reflects the Church of Antioch’s position regarding primacy of conscience and freedom of thought and expression. Thus, we value rigorous, reflective, thoughtful written papers which illustrate a firm grasp of the course subject matter as well as present creative viewpoints on the relevance of the material to today’s Christianity. We foster an atmosphere of openness to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit coming through the theological disciplines studied. The role of church teaching is to inform not replace an individual's conscience, and to foster, not stifle their creative expression of their Christian worldview.
