Online Doctrines Classes
Bible classes from Freedom Baptist Church that you can take right here, at your own pace.
Classes are on the way
We are recording our first online classes right now. Soon this page will be the home of free Bible doctrines classes taught by Pastor James Clidence, built from the same courses he has taught at Freedom Baptist Church over the years.
Every class will be open to anyone, free, and taken entirely online. No account to create and nothing to buy. Watch the lessons, work through the material, and test what you have learned as you go.
How each class will work
- Watch the lessons. Each class is a series of video lessons, about 45 minutes each, that you watch right on this website whenever it fits your schedule.
- Study the material. Every lesson comes with its outline, the key Scriptures, and a worksheet you can print and fill in as you learn.
- Take the quiz for each lesson. A short quiz follows every lesson so you can check your understanding before moving on. Score at least 70 percent to pass, and you can retake a quiz as many times as you need.
- Pass the final test. At the end of the class, a final test covers everything the class taught.
- Receive your certificate. Pass the final test and you will get a certificate of completion with your name on it, emailed to you and kept on file at the church.
The first classes coming

Soteriology: The Doctrine of Salvation
A college style walk through the doctrine of salvation, lesson by lesson: grace, mercy, and repentance; regeneration and the New Covenant; imputation; propitiation and expiation; a better atonement; justification and sanctification; redemption and reconciliation; and eternal security.
How to Give the Gospel
A practical class on sharing the gospel clearly and leading someone to Christ, taught in four 45 minute lessons. This is Pastor James's soul winning class, formerly called How to Win Souls to Christ, under its new name.
Ecclesiology: The Doctrine of the Church
A class on what the Bible teaches about the church: what the church is, how it is ordered, and what it is here to do. Lesson details will be posted here as the class is prepared.
I'm Saved, Now What?
A class for new believers: what comes after salvation, and how to take the first steps in following Christ. Lesson details will be posted here as the class is prepared.
More classes are planned after these, drawn from the discipleship courses written and taught at Freedom over the years.
