Bible Class

“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and 

with all your soul and with all your mind.”

Matthew 22:37

Bible classes will be held once a week on a bi-weekly basis. These academic classes will vary in time depending on the content prepared by the Bible Teacher for the week, but will typically range from 1-2 hours. The typical structure of one of these Bible classes will have the teacher identify and discuss a key theological understanding from scripture, followed by 1-2 weeks of challenges for continued practice in the theological discipline that is discussed. 

One class is offered each quarter, and students are encouraged to continue other avenues of academics (which may include junior college, college, or university schooling) or seek employment. Bible classes are not meant to be overwhelming or excessively time-consuming to hinder other critical areas of life.
