5. Why this School?
- The Bible is our primary textbook because truth matters! No opinions or personal perspectives; what does God say in His Bible?
- College level Bible instruction, without the college tuition and assignments.
- Helping to reverse postmodern biblical illiteracy. Many people believe false teachings because they do not know how to accurately apply the Bible.
- Basic and advance students welcomed; class size is limited to 18 to promote discussion.
- Goal is to understand the biblical text contextually and exhibit the ability to explain it.
- A verse by verse, inductive study of the Bible: Observation, Interpretation, and Application.
- Explore the biblical author, recipients, history, customs, cultural manners, original language, and more.
* Basic students audit the class with no assignments.
* Advance students are required to present an oral presentation of a Bible verse to qualify for a "Certificate of Completion".
6. Is this Bible School accredited?
The professors are required to have a minimum of a master's degree in related courses and credentialed from a fully accredited Seminary. However, the goal of this School is to be tuition-free; accreditation or affiliation will make tuition out of the reach for our target student.
7. Who is the target student?
- This School does not place a financial burden on students.
- This School is designed for busy adults who desire to increase their understanding of the Bible, be equipped, and capable to accurately explain what they believe.
- This School does not require students to take tests or write reports. An oral presentation is required for advance students to qualify for a Certificate of Completion.
