Learn More About Suggested Study Plans
You are free to work your way through these courses in any order you prefer. Some courses do build on the knowledge gained in previous ones, but there are no “prerequisites” or mandatory methods necessary for study. To help those who would like a more organized approach, we offer the following suggested learning plans. As you complete each course or sequence, check the appropriate boxes next to each course on your My Classroom account page. My Classroom will keep a running tally of the courses and sequences you have completed.
May you be richly rewarded by your study of God’s Word!
