Establish a School of the Bible in Your Church!

In recent years, many local churches have established a School of the Bible to provide helpful training for their people and for those in their community. Each of these schools operates in affiliation with Crown College of the Bible, yet each is under the authority of a local church and under the direction of its pastor. These affiliate schools take on a regional name that identifies them with the area in which they are located.  For more information on starting a regional School of the Bible, download the School of the Bible Handbook.

“The Moab School of the Bible, while low cost, has a tremendous impact on the overall ministry of our church as it provides another complimentary place of godly fellowship, fun, and Bible-based education for people. I have personally found the setup of the program – the subject matter, the notebooks, the teaching notes, the textbooks – very adaptable, teachable, and helpful.”

Pastor Howe, Coordinator for the Moab School of the Bible in Moab, Utah
