Description

The purpose of the Bible Teaching program is to develop the ministry skill of teaching Bible in Christian and public schools in North America, in government and missionary children's schools overseas, and in other areas of Christian work.

Special emphasis is given on planning the scope and sequence of a Bible curriculum according to the chronology of the Bible and on teaching each Bible lesson with integrity. Graduates of this program receive the "all-level" certification in Bible from the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).
