Three focused days of Bible study for anyone who wants to go beyond the surface. Morning sessions explore key biblical themes with guided discussion; afternoons offer self-study time and one-on-one conversations with teachers. Bring your Bible, your questions, and an open mind.

The Bible is a rich, layered text — and most of us have only scratched the surface. This seminar creates the time and space to go further: to sit with difficult passages, ask real questions, and discover the depth of meaning that careful reading reveals. It is not a lecture series. It is a shared exploration.

Daily structure

Each morning begins with a 90-minute guided session led by a biblical scholar, focusing on a different theme across the three days: Day 1 covers the narrative arc of scripture; Day 2 looks at the Psalms as a language of honest prayer; Day 3 opens the letters of Paul with fresh eyes. Afternoons are unstructured study time with access to the seminary library, followed by optional small-group discussions at 16:00.

Each evening closes with a short reflective devotional — a moment to let the day's learning settle before rest.

Who is this for

The seminar is designed for anyone from curious teenagers to long-time church members who feel ready to engage the Bible more seriously. No prior theological training is required. Bring a notebook and come ready to think.
