Testimonials…
Every church member needs to go through a systematic study of scripture at the earliest possible opportunity. Without a firm and knowledgable foundation of scripture, God’s people will always fall short of His best for them. I would highly recommend Spirit Life Bible School to every hungry believer.” Rev. Rod Anderson – UK Chancellor – Wagner Leadership Institute, Senior Leader – Commonwealth Church London
The Spirit Life Bible School has become one of the cornerstones of our Church ministry providing both a highly contemporary and interactive curriculum. The modules are user friendly and interactive, being easy to both teach and learn whilst giving a thorough grounding in all of the key Christian Doctrines. I would wholeheartedly recommend this school curriculum to Pastors looking for an effective means of teaching the word of God as a supplement to other Discipleship programs.” Keith Chapman-Burnett – Senior Pastor, House of Destiny Church
It is imperative that all followers of Christ, and in particular those who would be leaders, are well-established in the Word of God. To this end, there is a desperate need for sound biblical resources that will allow students to deepen their understanding of Bible and theology, at their own pace and in their own context. I believe the Spirit Life Bible School provides this opportunity. I fully endorse the Spirit Life Bible School to anyone desiring to increase their personal knowledge and application of Scripture, to any pastor or leader seeking resources to teach their congregation, and to Christian movements seeking to give their future pastors and leaders a sound foundation in Bible and theology.” Gary Hourigan – Hi-Pursuits Ltd, Coaching and Church Multiplication Expert

Each of these doctrinal subjects provides essential building blocks for a life lived accurately according to the Word and the will of God.
3. Origins
The Book of Genesis is the wellspring of all Biblical doctrine and a thorough understanding of its teachings, particularly the universal emphasis of chapters 1-12 is essential.

4. Spiritual Realities
As spiritual people it is essential that we understand the spiritual world in which we live. This Module delves into the reality of the invisible realm all around us, and how we as believers are called to operate skillfully in that realm.

Christian life is not about mere doctrine. Instead it is about truth being lived out - the Word becoming flesh. That's what this module is all about.
