This summer it’s time to get your spiritual life back in shape!
Yellowstone Theological Institute’s Summer Courses are open to the public in 2022 — and you can join us for FREE!
If you live in the Gallatin Valley, take the time to enjoy the opportunity to get your spiritual life back in shape after a long COVID winter! Classes will be held at YTI in Bozeman. Students who are taking our courses for credit will be paying their regular tuition, but if you just want a taste of YTI, you simply need to register below so we can reserve a seat for you.
Lunch will be served every day to all of our seated participants.
For those outside the Gallatin Valley area, we are making these courses available live online. Sign up for classes below, and we will send you a link for the course!

Theology for the Church
Christians today avoid the word “theology” as if it were the COVID virus. “No need!” says Dr. Jay Smith. Theology is simply how we talk about God. In “Theology for the Church” Dr. Smith relates how we can understand and embrace the depths of God’s love and promise for the church today.
