King s Onine Bibe Schoo carries out a its training in and through students oca churches. We endeavor to wak together with pastors and eders, recognizing the priary roe they have been given in nurturing their ebers in God s Word and equipping the to be Christ s servants. The training King s Onine Bibe Schoo offers centers around three fundaenta issues in Christian ife: truth, character, and servanthood. 1. Truth Objectives Our curricuu pursues truth objectives in four ajor areas of study: A. Bibica studies: wi ask you to ebrace the Scriptures as the authoritative and reiabe record of God s truth wi introduce you to each book of the Bibe; wi offer concentrated study of seected bibica books; wi provide you with principes and toos for bibica study. B. Theoogica studies: wi estabish the vaue of doctrine in the Church and in your ife; wi acquaint you with basic Christian doctrines; wi equip you with a foundationa grasp of truth that enabes you to identify and reject error. C. Historica studies wi trace how the Spirit of God has guarded His peope in Christ s truth and ife through the centuries.

2 D. Christian ife studies: wi teach you how to reate bibica truths to our own situation; wi teach you how to prepare to teach God s Word; wi chaenge you to be Christ s witness; wi ca you to wak in the reaities and exercises of faith. Each ajor area of study wi be presented in a nuber of courses. 2. Character Objectives Because growth in Christ s character is the work of the Hoy Spirit and because He accopishes that work through persona reationships in the context of Christ s body, we ask pastors to hep prospective students identify a person to support and encourage the in their studies. KOBS provides training for entors and tutors. 3. Servanthood Objectives to earn the bibica foundation for serving; to earn the bibica guideines for the Church s inistries and functions; to earn and practice various inistry skis; to begin to identify particuar gifting for service and inistry; to concentrate training in identified inistries. Christ buids His Church and paces His ebers in His Church as He wi. Ministry and service begins within the oca church body. This is the idea pace for practicing inistry, searching out and appying bibica patterns and guideines for inistry, and being apprenticed in using the particuar gifts you have received. Your pastor, eders, and entor wi pay a key roe in providing inistry opportunities and training. At the sae tie our courses wi present bibica principes and offer insights fro the way God s Spirit has ed and taught His peope to inister through the centuries.
