Upcoming Seminar
What does it mean to study the Bible “like a boss”?
It means approaching Scripture with confidence, skill, and just the right amount of swagger. And honestly, couldn’t we all use a little more of that?
Join Dr. Scott Stripling, Dr. Craig Evans, Angela McClinton, and Dr. Israel Steinmetz for a one-day seminar designed to take you beyond simply reading the Bible and equip you to study God's Word more deeply. You’ll gain practical tools for exploring Scripture, understanding its ancient context, connecting its message to life today, and following the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Whether you’re beginning to explore deeper Bible study or looking to sharpen your current skills, you’ll leave with greater clarity, renewed confidence, and a fresh sense of purpose.
Come ready to learn, grow, and study the Bible like a boss!

Call to Adventure Update
The Bible Seminary (TBS) offers a home base, opportunities, and provision for people to serve and train to better serve the Lord and others in His name. Private donations and tuition/fee income fund the life-changing mission that annually impacts tens of thousands (even millions) of people around the world.
After 16 years of leasing temporary facilities, TBS has an opportunity to purchase a corporate venue to redevelop into a distinctively unique discipleship and training campus for students and visitors of all ages. The prospective new location will host a combined seminary, museum, and archaeological park unparalleled anywhere in America.
At present, 153 donors (15% of 1,000 goal) have committed donations and pledges ranging from $20 to over $500,000 for up to five years totaling $2.75 million (15% of $18.25 million goal). Of that, $1.05 million has been designated to Facilities and about $50,000 to Endowment.
We are seeking 847 additional donors to join the pioneers who have already committed to help fund TBS and make this prospective new a campus a reality.
Our purchase contract dates are looming and we need to make critical decisions soon. With the Lord's blessing and 1,000 of us working together, this impossible vision can become a beautiful reality and bless multitudes for decades to come.
If you have not already done so, would you consider joining the Call to Adventure by donating or pledging today?
