JERUSALEM BIBLE SCHOOL

BIBLE SCHOOL IN THE LAND OF THE BIBLE.
EXPERIENCE GOD’S WORD IN 3D.

The Bible was written in a real history and in a real country.
We would like to rediscover them in Jerusalem.

Our vision is that God’s word comes alive – not just understood, but experienced.

We create a space in which the Bible gains depth in a historical and spiritual context and personal growth becomes possible. When history, geography and spiritual context come together, God’s word takes on new dimensions.

So that God’s word is not just read, but lived.
