Whether it’s in the church, the dorm, the workplace, or on the street, students will be prepared to take the principles they learn from Scripture and walk them out in everyday life. Students will also be mentored throughout the year by spiritual coaches who are committed to seeing them become disciples who will make disciples.

What is the Student Bible Experience? As part of our orientation process, the students and on-site ministry directors read through the Bible in 10 days. I know, I know! “What? Read the entire Bible in eight days?!” Our goal in this project is two-fold: first, we want every student to get a sense of the big picture of God’s story; second, we want to create an opportunity for students to dive right in and work together to accomplish a rather large goal.
