Discipleship Bible School
Discipleship Bible School
The overwhelming majority of Christians have never read the entire Bible.About the course
Many of those who attend Bible colleges learn methods of studying scripture, but aren't guided in putting those techniques to use on the text. The Discipleship Bible School provides an opportunity for students to read through God's word and practice techniques for understanding it based on its original context.
Students who complete the course will learn to view the books of the Bible as part of a unified story and discover their place in that story. Most importantly, they will recognize the unchanging character of God throughout history.
