Discipleship Bible School

The Discipleship Bible School (DBS) is a 3-months program where you will learn about God’s redemptive plan unfolding from the beginning to the end of the Bible, focusing on being transformed by the messages of the Bible as you read. In the DBS you will read through all the books of the Bible chronologically from Genesis to Revelation, and you will learn how to study the Bible in its historical context through the Inductive Bible Study Method. Through reading in groups, discussions, lectures and assignments you will learn the big overview of the books you are reading. Each week you will listen to Bible teachers from different nations that will help you to see the bigger picture of the books, and in the end of the course everyone will present an overview of the whole story that the Bible is telling in 45 minutes.

The Bible is the most exciting book on the Earth!! These 12 weeks of this introduction course will take you on a journey where you will get to see God’s redemptive plan for humanity, and which plan you play in His amazing story as you read through these many texts that have shaped our faith and our world. Studying through it you will see how the whole Bible is connected together, how there is a red thread from beginning to the end, and the different books will become alive as you study its genre, historical context and author’s original intent.

Good to know about DBS: 

  • You will read chronologically through each book of the Bible,

  • Reading and discussions will happen in groups. 

  • There is many different Bible Schools in YWAM: DBS’s biggest focus is on God’s redemptive plan unfolding in the Bible, and to be transformed by the messages.  

  • As a student you will also be part of the base fellowship we have at YWAM Grimerud, and you will participate in corporate meetings and activities happening at base: E.g. worship, base meetings, meals. 

  • Plan on having roommates.

If you are seeking to increase your knowledge of Scripture, and want to continue to be discipled and transformed by the truth that the Word brings, then this is a great step on your way to a life with the Bible! Do you have a call to missions? This is a great step to be able to effectively share the good news in the nations. You will have 3-6 lecture sessions per week, part take in the base activities with the other schools and ministries, and work individually a number of hours each day with a weekly assignment. We work 6 days a week to maximize this season of immersing in Scripture! All lectures will be given in English, but Scandinavian students may do their assignments in their language.
