The SBS is a nine-month course in which the student studies all 66 books of the Bible, the Word of God.
You learn to study the Scriptures, using the inductive approach, in which you observe what the text says and then let it shape your beliefs as opposed to the deductive method, where one approaches the Bible with a preconceived idea and searches the scripture for support.
The SBS will equip individuals to rightly handle the Word of truth. Giving them the ability to better observe and see what the Word has to say, learning to interpret what was originally meant by the Word, and how then it can be applied properly in whatever situation or ministry one finds themselves in.
Curriculum:
The SBS is offered in a series of three-month phases:
--Interpreting the Scriptures I: This phase is the introduction to the School of Biblical Studies, covering most of the New Testament books.
--Interpreting the Scriptures II: This includes completing the inductive study of the New Testament, as well as, studying from Genesis through I Kings of the Old Testament.
--Interpreting the Scriptures III: This session focuses on the inductive study of II Kings through Malachi completing your study of the Bible.

The Great Commission says, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matt 28:19-20)
Teaching is part of God’s commission to His disciples.
