The Bible Core Course (BCC) is a 12-week course that introduces you to the inductive approach of Biblical Study. The course equips you with tools for integrating the Word into your life by employing creative methods for observing, interpreting and applying the Scriptures.

Get understanding

An inductive study examines the Bible using many different resources in order to understand the scriptures in a new light. This means leaving behind any preconceived ideas or principles, allowing the true content of God's Word to be revealed. This approach not only helps you with your study of the Bible, but also provides a great foundation for life-long ministry.

During the course you will read through the entire Bible and study in depth at least 13 books, being introduced to every form of literature in the Old and New Testaments.

Gather your tools

The goal of the Bible Core Course (BCC) is to help the Bible come alive by showing that it is living and active, relevant to today's culture and able to change people's thoughts and the attitude of their hearts. Throughout the school, you as a student will have the opportunity to

  • Lead Bible study groups

  • Explore the historical consistency of God's truth
  • Discuss questions that may arise as you teach others

As a result, you can expect to

  • Revolutionize your study of the Bible
  • Gain a great foundation for life-long ministry
  • Grow in your understanding of God's character and His ways
  • Experience God's presence in your personal time with Him

Go

After the lecture phase, a two-month stateside/cross-cultural outreach provides the opportunity and challenge to teach as well as apply the truths you have learned. As a BCC graduate, you should have an increased love and understanding of both studying and teaching the Word, your own beliefs changed or shaped by applying God's Word, and the desire to study further. It will be a foundation for everything God has for your life!
