1 - Ecclesiastical Law (ECL800)
Instructor: Sherra Kissee
Class Description
This course is designed to give an overview of biblical law and its connection to areas of law that may impact you in your ministry and/or career. It will provide a basic understanding of both biblical law and statutory/civil law and how to apply them in given circumstances. The reading will include on-line reading assignments, reading material I provide, legal case summaries and scripture. You will take the Constitution 101 course from Hillsdale College. There will also be written assignments in the form of applying what you’ve learned to various situations you might face in your ministry and/or career.

Tax Law
Corporate Law
Contract Law

Classes
The first, third and last classes will be live Zoom classes at a maximum of two (2) hours each. If any of these three live classes need more than two (2) hours, we will resume via live Zoom the following week for the amount of time necessary to complete the class. All remaining classes will be self-study with a recorded video of each week’s lecture. Some will be longer than others, but no video will go over 2 hours. If we don’t finish the course material in the 11 scheduled classes, we will schedule additional classes to accommodate the carryover material. (Max. “face-to-face” Zoom Time: 8 hours)
