School of the Bible is a one year course that is available for you through YWAM. YWAM stands for the Ministry of Youth with a Mission and is located in Tyler, Texas near the airport. The course will go in depth into studying the Bible and learning Greek so you can better understand what the Bible is saying. You will learn about apologetics and thermanectics.
I know these are new words for some, but the school teaches you about all these things and more. It gives you a new perspective on how to read and better understand and apply the Bible to your everyday life. The Bible course is accredited through Eclesia which is located in Arkansas. You will earn 35 credits when you are finished with the course.
Basically it is like going to any college that you choose, only here you get to skip the two years that you have to take Math, English, etc and allows you to get straight to the point of studying the exact thing you want without wasting any time having to take courses that you are not interested in.
I am not saying in any way that there is anything wrong with going through a regular college and taking all the extra classes if that is what you are required to get your degree. I am just merely stating that if you are looking to get closer to God and better understand how to read and understand what the Bible has to say to you personally or about history, the world or any other area of your life than YWAM may your fit.
I took the course and I loved it, because I just wanted to get to know God better and be able to enjoy reading the Bible coming from a right perspective. The staff is excellent and fun, and loving and always ready to help in any area that you may need.
If you choose to go ahead and do the school your tuition will include room and board and yes three meals per day. And if all that is not enough to convince you to join, you get to meet lots of new people just like you who are there to learn about God or work towards getting a degree.
While making friends you are also getting to study and learn more about God’s nature and God’s character. For some it is also a break from real life. Not that this is not considered real life.
To me, doing something like this is like taking a vacation because I will be learning about things that I am passionate about, so it makes it way easier to get up every morning and face the day. So the next time you are wondering what is the next step for you in life, you should consider School of the Bible at the Tyler Texas YWAM base on Christian Heritage campus…it may be exactly what you are looking for.
