**A course for pastors, church planters, and all who pray and labour for instrumentality through the work of the Gospel in the local church.** The churches of Christ are increasingly being infiltrated by the mis-named ‘missional’ model of church organisation, that wilfully discards fundamental biblical obligations of Christian commitment, taking churches into deepening worldliness. A new generation is being beguiled by a wave of unscriptural innovations, making a stand for ­authentic evangelical life more vital than at any other time. We pray that many may be drawn to this year’s School to weigh and consider these issues. This year key doctrines will be viewed through the lens of evangelical history, tracing how past worthies brought into clear focus the free ­offer of the Gospel and the true scriptural doctrines of the church. Studies will include the strangely lost ‘core’ of evangelistic effort in the local church, also the structure and government of a true church, including the qualifications and aims of her office bearers, the grand objectives of a ‘working’ church, and the riches and protection of her worship. Teatime workshop sessions this year will give opportunity to attend the Tabernacle Sunday School teachers’ and young people’s workers’ preparation course. All this year’s topics contribute directly to the building up of the individual congregation as an organism for soul-­winning effectiveness, scriptural obedience and blessing in these perilous last times.
