The purpose of LBS is to give laypersons and layministers a basic working knowledge of the truths of the bible. This two-year school (September - June) is a systematic Bible Study course. We slowly go over every word so that you understand and know for yourself what "...thus saith he Lord: for your life." It will give you a detailed study of your authority as a believer in Jesus Christ and an in-depth study of the life of Christ.
