Village Schools of the Bible

Village Schools of the Bible
Two courses: Everyday Faith Class + Biblical Leadership

 Description: Since 1982 Village Schools of the Bible has guided more than 7,000 people through their Bible courses. Last year, South Heights Christian Classes hosted the Village Schools Cover-to-Cover Bible Survey course: 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.
 
This year (starting fall of 2019), SHCC is hosting two additional Village Schools courses as follows:
 
Semester 1: Everyday Faith
Semester 2: Biblical Leadership.
 
The Semester 1 course, Everyday Faith, helps people apply their faith in everyday life. This is a 10-week course taught by Christian leaders in various fields from across the Twin Cities, who share how they live out their faith in their various vocations in the workplace. A range of faith-in-the-workplace topics are covered such as self-management, weathering crises, sharing faith, separation of church and state, and discipleship: in short, topics cover every aspect of staying true to Christian mission in all spheres of life. Students come away with a very practical plan of action for living out their faith more intentionally in everyday life: at home, work or in the community.
 
The semester 2 course, Biblical Leadership, is a 10-week course that helps students understand the sharp difference between secular models of leadership and Biblical leadership. Principles of Biblical leadership are learned from Old Testament and New Testament examples such as Moses, Nehemiah, Jesus and Paul. Students learn about the work of the Holy Spirit in leadership, Biblical worldview, perils of leadership, evaluation of leadership, leadership style assessment, and leadership in practice. This course is for leaders or those aspiring to leadership (whether inside or outside the four walls of the church building) who desire to model their leadership on the Way, the Truth and the Life of Christ.
 
Those who experience the Everyday Faith and Biblical Leadership courses are better equipped to apply their faith and lead in at work, at home, and in the community.  
​Student feedback. Below is an example of student feedback from these courses:
 
Everyday Faith:
 
  • Thank you – thank you. Has given me so much encouragement…direction & hope.
  • Liked the "grass roots" approach. Very helpful and practical. Many insights that I could apply immediately.
  • Extremely helpful…The practicality of each seminar was appreciated…Have been able to put things into practice immediately... Awesome course! 
 
Biblical leadership:
 
  • “(Loved) the clarity with which Dr. Martin continually presented the gospel.”
  • “Gave me a much-needed way to evaluate how I lead while remaining focused on the Cross.”
  • “Extremely helpful – I feel refocused and energized!”
 
Both of these courses, Everyday Faith and Biblical Leadership, can be used to fulfill High School electives or for earning University Credit.

Village Schools 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."
This course can be used to fulfill a High School elective or for earning University Credit.
