IK BIBLE SCHOOL IN THE CHURCH (in English)

MULTIFORM LEARNING

>>> Study the Bible in your local church - in English!

IK Bible School in the Church offers you the same courses that are taught at IK College. In practice, IK Bible School in the Church consists of multiform learning, i.e., a combination of classroom teaching at the IK College campus and online teaching.

Each course includes one classroom teaching period at the IK College campus in Keuruu or Helsinki. It lasts for two days. In addition, ten online lessons will be taught by an IK College teacher in a local church. Those meetings are led by a local facilitator on weekday evenings. The meeting lasts two hours and includes a one-hour online lesson and two 30-minute discussion sessions before and after the lecture.

IK Bible School is suitable for anyone who wants to strengthen their knowledge of the Bible and their Christian worldview. You can audit the courses, i.e., be present at the lessons without doing any of the assignments, or you can perform the courses for credit, i.e., complete the assignments, which will be graded by IK teachers. 

Why study at IK Bible School in the church?

  • Deepen your understanding of the Bible

  • Cultivate a Christian worldview

  • Learn to communicate your faith

  • Improve your English

  • Get to know local Christians
