Our Goals
Upon completion of the School of the Bible program, students will be able to:
- Explain the overall structure of the Bible and the themes of each book
- Engage in personal Bible study using proper methods of interpretation
- Speak to others about their faith in Christ and show others the way of salvation
- Provide biblical answers concerning key subjects of Bible doctrine
- Teach others the purpose and mission of the New Testament church
- Employ effective methods in teaching the Word of God to others

Our Motto
The School of the Bible follows the biblical pattern given in II Timothy 2:2, which says, “And the things which thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” The School of the Bible motto is “able to teach others also.” This theme permeates every course and every lesson. Through prepared materials and instruction, and through personal study of God’s Word, students are equipped to be “able to teach others also.” They are challenged to be filled with the Spirit of God and to be used of the Lord to commit His Word to others.
