«In the SBS I could discover the Bible and I got a deeper understanding of God`s plan for us humans.»
Mathias (CH)
Why do an SBS?
We believe that understanding the Bible is an essential part of Christian life. Through the SBS you are given the tools to understand and apply the Bible in your life. You will also learn how to pass that understanding on to others. This understanding will guide your life, whether you are continuing in ministry, working in a vocation, or continuing in further education!
«We will find in the Bible only as much as we are looking for: Great things and divine things if we look for great and divine things, important and historical things if we look for important and historical things, nothing at all if we do not look for anything at all.»
Karl Barth (Theologian)
