«A year at Bergen Bible School has helped me understand who I really am!»

Important to us:

We believe the Bible is God's own word to us, and our guide in all aspects of life. Therefore, in the course of the year we read the entire Bible, book by book, and devote much time to the systematic study of many of the Bible's themes. Read more

The Bible shows us that God's answer for humankind is church fellowship. Therefore, we encourage all students of the school to actively participate a community of fellowship. We believe in deep, high quality friendships that rise above our differences in fellowship with others who wish to live for Jesus wholeheartedly.

Jesus gave us an assignment: To go out into the world and tell what He has done, teaching all to live God’s way. Therefore, the class goes out regularly to share the news about Jesus and pray for people. We do this in in the center of Bergen, and on practical trips to other cities in Norway and abroad, sharing the message of Jesus, the Saviour of the world!
