It is not primarily a classroom program.

Questions before lectures

Leaders help participants observe, think, search Scripture, and respond instead of automatically giving every answer.

Truth moves toward action

Learning is not complete at knowing the right answer. Scripture is meant to shape character, relationships, service, and obedience.
