Biblical Studies

Overview

The Bible is foundational for all we believe and do as Christians. Whether you are called to full-time ministry or live as a witness to the gospel in your community, you need to know the Bible. Biblical Studies will provide you with a strong foundation for ministry and personal faith by refining your knowledge of the Scriptures. We want to bring the Bible to life so that the Word of God becomes an essential part of your life.

So what do we do in biblical studies? We build your competence in studying and teaching the Bible through a systematic approach to interpreting Scripture. We explore various interpretive systems and strategies, learn the predominant literary genres of the Bible and ground your interpretation of the Bible within an informed understanding of the original, intended meaning of the text.
