JERUSALEM BIBLE SCHOOL
BIBLE SCHOOL IN THE LAND OF THE BIBLE.
EXPERIENCE GOD’S WORD IN 3D.
The Bible originated in a real history and a real land.
In Jerusalem, we want to rediscover it.
Our vision is that God’s word comes alive – not just understood, but experienced.
We create a space where the Bible gains depth in its 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.

MORE TO COME
WE LIVE AND WORK HERE
FELM CENTER
The felm center (finnish evangelical lutheran mission center) is located between the Arab and ultra-orthodox Jewish quarters and just a few minutes’ walk from the old town. In this prime location, we are right in the middle of the melting pot of cultures and at the pulse of the city. Classes also take place in the felm.
SALESIAN MONASTERY
The Salesian Monastery is located next to the felm and also serves as one of our accommodations.
FAQ:
After the four weeks of Bible school, we offer an optional local outreach in Israel, where we want to actively help for a week and meet people in their needs, thereby practically sharing the Gospel. More detailed information will be announced soon.
If you are interested, please let us know when you register. This outreach will also be open to people who did not take part in the Bible school and is expected to cost around €500.
