Bible School is a unique residential school that offers a formation program in basic Catholic teaching and youth ministry skills. It enables students to grow closer to Christ through a structured life of prayer, study, community living and outreach ministry. Praise, prayer and spiritual gifts are integrated into their lives, strengthening them personally, and equipping them to effectively share their faith and serve the Church. "Our mission," they declare, "is to offer formation in Christian discipleship through immersion in prayer, the Word of God, and community life. We encourage all people to be alive in the spirit of Jesus and to bring the Father's healing love to the world."
