Winter Bible School, a 22-week course, provides you with the opportunity to focus on your relationship with Jesus, study the Bible in depth, and apply its teachings practically to your life.
We are confident that you will leave here better equipped to live your Christian life and serve in your local church context. (A shorter Spring School course is also available. If you apply for both courses, you will receive a £500 second-course discount. We also offer Taster Weeks if you would like to experience our Bible School before committing to a full programme).
Content
The main content of the course is taught by experienced and gifted teachers, meeting four key objectives, and resulting in an internationally recognised qualification – Foundations in Christian Life and Service (Level 3). You will study as part of a wonderful international community in a stunning location with great facilities all for a great price that includes accommodation, activities and all your meals.
You will be taught from a wide range of biblical books and various theological topics through lectures, and there will be several seminars that address the practical aspects of the Christian life, including time and money management, worship, teamwork, marriage, and singleness. You will also have regular Route Planner sessions, which provide an overview of every Old Testament book and track your weekly Bible reading schedule. The specific topics and books covered during Winter School will likely include the following, though they are subject to change based on the availability of lecturers:
