Certification Program
Comeford College exists to raise the intellectual abilities of the Christian community in Marysville.
As an institution we are learning (in order) to love the Lord with all our mind. Jesus commanded it, and living for Him in this world requires us to be transformed by the renewal of our minds. That takes sacrifice. We ourselves are living sacrifices, and we should be smarter sacrifices.
In addition to our Comeford College Community Choir (which continues to just ROCK on all levels—see some of their previous performances on youTube), we will be offering two other classes for certification for the 2026-27 school year.
Here’s the TL;DR descriptions (and click on the name of each class for a more detailed description):
- Jealousable Lordship – This is the grammar level of the program, the foundation that makes the other classes make sense. The bottom line: the Word has made the world. It’s crucial to read the Word, know how to read the Word, and then desire the blessings of doing the Word. We plan to offer this every year.
- Mythology 201: The True Myth Embodied: Literature from Chaucer to Tolkien – From Chaucer, Shakespeare, Spenser, Milton, and plodding along with some essays by Tolkien. This literature is not escapism. It is a school of warning and wonder. Key Texts: Chaucer’s Troilus and Cresseyde, Hamlet and King Lear, Faerie Queene, Paradise Lost. Secondary Text: (Tolkien) Monsters and Critics and Other Essays
- Theology 301: The King Has Come: A Survey of the New Testament – If the Old Testament sets the stage, the New Testament is the main event. Surveying the Gospels, Acts, Paul’s letters, the General Epistles, and Revelation, one will see how all these fit together and culminate in the second coming of Christ. Key Texts: Bible
