Cover-to-Cover Bible Class
Old Testament and New Testament

 
Description: Since 1982 Village Schools of the Bible has guided more than 7,000 people through Cover-to-Cover which is a comprehensive, full immersion discipleship study of the Bible where students read the entire Bible in nine months and write reflection papers to let God's truth sink in. First semester is spent immersed in the Old Testament while second semester is devoted to the New Testament. The textbooks provide a large view of each book of the Bible. Students' reflection papers encourage deep thinking and practical application of the truths discovered in the Bible.  A teacher leads the class, and there is plenty of time for students to ask questions and discuss life application.
Five major themes are discussed and reviewed during the class:
  • God's  Unfolding Plan of Redemption
  • The  Centrality of Jesus Christ, or what we call the  Scarlet Thread of Redemption
  • The  Unity of the Bible
  • The  Centrality of the Gospel  of Jesus Christ
  • The  Practical Application  of God's Word for Daily Living
Those who experience Cover-to-Cover Bible Survey are better equipped to lead in the local church, home, and community.  They have greater confidence in sharing the Word of God. They have great confidence in God and His promises.
One student wrote, "This course has been life-changing for me. I came into the class without a real knowledge of the Old Testament at all. I feel like my relationship with the Lord has grown so much, and my understanding is much more in-depth. I am excited about the Word."

Logic
 First Semester
​
Description:     This is a course in linguistic symbolic logic. Logic and reasoning form the basis for how we think and communicate in everyday life. It also forms the basis for all other subjects that we study (math, science, music, writing, language, etc). It is important that we understand and are able to perform these disciplines effectively. The purpose of this course is to develop our understanding of words, ideas, and arguments, as well as their logical relationships to one another. Each student will benefit from this class by improving their analytical and problem solving skills, which will aid them in their study of other subjects.

Worldview 
*A tuition payment will also be required for the second semester of this class.
 
Description:    "What is truth?" Pontias  Pilate's words echo down the halls of history and reverberate in the culture we live in and interact with on a daily basis. The purpose of this course is not to dictate the truth. Rather, the purpose of this course is to learn how to discern for oneself what is truth. In this class, we will challenge ideas and beliefs both Christian and secular, equip students to view life from various worldviews, and make decisions based on the worldviews that make the most sense. Students will study theology, philosophy, ethics, biology, psychology, sociology, law, politics, economics, and history. Joshua 24:15 says, "...choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
