Why should it be taught outside the church?

The reason for teaching this class in a home is so that it can be opened up to the community. This is the bedrock of the program. When this takes place multiple churches can come together and help with teachers, small group leaders and most importantly those who are high school seniors and college students. We have found that many students are less willing to open up in a church setting with pastors, youth pastors and parents around. Also this can be a time for Christian students to invite their unsaved friends in the community who would otherwise be unwilling to step into a church. We have found that seekers are very interested and this is one of the reasons that the last night of the program can, if you choose, include baptisms for those who have accepted Christ during the program or who want to rededicate their lives to Christ.
