ABOUT POP-UP THEOLOGY

Pop-Up Theology is born from a deep conviction that engaging with theology is a priority for all Christians, not the few. We study theology to know and love God more and to share our faith with confidence. At Emmanuel Theological College we believe theology should be accessible to everyone, without geographical, academic, social, or economic barriers. The college exists to equip the whole people of God for the whole mission of God. Pop-up Theology is designed so that everyone can gain confidence in their ability to engage with theological study, even those who may have not previously thought it possible. Offered as a modular Monday evening programme on zoom, with both class and small-group discussions in the interactive teaching led by Emmanuel Theological College staff, this is a fantastic opportunity to grow in your knowledge of and love for the Lord and be better equipped to serve his purpose in your locality.
