Who should take Perspectives?
The short answer is anyone who is serious about gaining a deeper understanding of God's ultimate purpose in the world and who wants a closer walk with Him. Anyone who wants to learn how to strategically invest their lives in seeing God glorified. Anyone who wants to gain insight and direction and be able to make an impact in this generation.

If that is you, no matter what your age or position, then you should take Perspectives!

What makes Perspectives unique?
There are many ways to answer that question. Perspectives has a unique focus. Perspectives has a proven track record in opening students' eyes to the Bible, history, culture, and God's purpose in a way unlike any other course.

On the practical side, Perspectives is unique in that a different expert teaches each of the 16 sessions. This allows you to be exposed to people who specialize in the area they cover.

Why does Perspectives cost so much?
The fees for the class are based on the travel costs we need to cover for speakers, administrative costs, costs for class materials, etc. This is necessary to insure the quality of the program.

Actually, when you think about it, this is a bargain. Each session costs about the same as going to a movie, but you are getting so much more than mere entertainment. You are getting a glimpse into the eternal purpose of God in a way you will never forget.

Will childcare be provided? Right now there are no plans to provide childcare at the class locations. In the past we have found that very few students used this service. However, we would like to know if you would have need for childcare. If this would be helpful to you, please let us know. We might be able to make arrangements. Husbands and wives attend class together will get a "family member discount" that can be used to offset some of their childcare expenses if they choose.

Are scholarships available?
Our desire is that as many people as possible will be able to attend Perspectives. As a result, there are a limited number of scholarships available. If you really want to take Perspectives, but simply cannot afford the cost, please contact your church Pastor first, as many churches provide some assistance for Perspectives course. If this does not work for you, send an e-mail to info@perspectives.org. A Coordinator will get back to you ASAP with any available assistance or further instructions.

I took the class in the past, is there a discounted rate for me to take it again?
Actually, all alumni can attend any of the sessions FREE. This is true even if you originally took the course in a different city. Of course, if you want new copies of the books used for the class there will be a charge for them. Even though the class is free for alumni, we ask that you complete all of the
registration information so that we can plan for your attendance and keep in touch with you throughout the class.

Please join us again and bring a friend!

What happens if I can't attend the class one week?
You have a couple of options. You can attend the same session at the other Austin area location. If that doesn't work for you, you can listen online with the appropriate password. Passwords are given out each week in class.

Perspectives sounds good, but what if after I attend the first session I decide it's not for me?
No problem! You can attend the first two sessions, and if you decide you can't continue with Perspectives you will get a full refund. We are so confident that you will like Perspectives that we can easily offer this no risk, money back guarantee.

If you're still not sure, you can sample the first two sessions by attending as our guest.
