About
We believe in the power of God’s word and its ability to transform our hearts, minds and lives into the likeness of God, which we are convinced of in his desire for every person from every nation.
Join us as we explore the depths of scripture and discover the freedom and joy that comes from living a Christ-centered life.
This Bible Core Course (BCC) is a 12 week school where you will be able to study the key books from different genres that will serve to open up the whole of the Bible story.
Through in depth study and reflection you will gain a deeper understanding of God’s word and its powerful application to everyday life. This life-changing course will equip you with the tools to cultivate a stronger faith, foster meaningful relationships, and navigate life’s challenges with confidence and purpose.
what it is
There are not many programs like a SBS. It is a wild time where you live and do life as part of a community of people who are crazy about God and his Word. SBS students come from all over the world, from different cultures and Christian traditions and together go deeper into the Bible and discover God anew.
A School of Biblical Studies is an official program run by YWAM and has curriculum requirements. Here are the elements of the YWAM SBS program:
- classroom learning (9 hours per week)
- individual study (25 hours per week)
- intercession & worship
- small groups
- work duties
- local outreach
- one-to-one conversations, mentoring, coaching
how it looks
Discipleship is at the core of what we do. SBS is not just about knowing and living the Word of God, it is about the discipleship process we live alongside the Holy Spirit and the communities we’re part of. During SBS you’ll be part of small groups, one on one discipleship, worship, intercession, and ministry as a school and with the broader base community.
We don’t study the Bible for the sake of studying the Bible and being blessed ourselves. Our desire is to see others blessed and transformed as they discover the beauty and power of the Word of God. Therefore, we will partner with local churches and youth groups with the aim to see Gen Z and Gen Alpha grow in passion and understanding for the Bible.
