Program overview
A rich, personal encounter with Scripture
This program is for the student who longs to open the Bible and truly understand it — and to think clearly about God, the gospel, and the Christian life. Whether you’re preparing for ministry, deepening a lifelong faith, or simply answering a hunger to know more, your mentor will help you build a study plan that moves from the foundations to the questions that matter most to you.
You won’t just accumulate information. Through careful reading, reflection, and writing, you’ll grow in your ability to interpret Scripture faithfully, engage the great themes of theology, and articulate your faith with conviction and humility.
What you’ll explore
- The storyline of Scripture — how the Old and New Testaments fit together
- Tools for careful interpretation and study of the biblical text
- The core doctrines of the Christian faith and why they matter
- The history of the Church and its great voices across the centuries
- How to bring Scripture to bear on real questions and everyday life
