What is Porterbrook Fort Worth?Porterbrook Fort Worth is a theological training program for the church by the church. This program emphasizes and teaches you to live in light of the gospel story in the context of community and for the sake of God's mission in the world. Differing from other theological training programs and seminaries, Porterbrook’s focus is not simply on increased theological knowledge, but rather the development of character and living on mission in your specific context. Porterbrook addresses the head (knowledge), the heart (character), and the hands (mission) to equip you to serve Jesus and those around you.Whether you are a church leader, potential church planter, or everyday Christian wanting to be equipped by deepening your theological understanding and forming your life on mission, Porterbrook will develop, train, and equip you.The course structure is built around four major streams of learning: Character, Bible & Doctrine, Church, and World. The schedule is organized as three trimesters from August to May each year, with each trimester being bookended by Saturday Conferences with guest speakers that are seasoned pastors and theologians.
