CONCORDIA BIBLE INSTITUTE
FALL 2007 PROGRAMS
Bible Studies Certification Series
The Bible Studies Certification Series is the main program through which this Institute assists in healing people who are reaching out for the "hem" of Christ's robe. It is designed for lay people who are interested in an in-depth Bible study. There are no grades or homework and class participation is voluntary.
ADVANCED SERIES: Study the Bible in-depth with a variety of engaging instructors from Concordia University Wisconsin. Even though this series is entitled "advanced," one does NOT have to be "advanced" in his/her knowledge of the Bible to attend.
