To encourage the learning and teaching of God's eternal Word of Truth by providing an academic learning environment for learners and teachers of the biblical text. Uniquely, it is the vision of the founders of this Study Center that people connect locally, not just digitally, for the pupose of developing a learning community in close physical proximity with one another. This is not to discourage distance learning, but instead to facilitate and encourage in person learning for individuals willing to draw near with one another physically for the purpose of expanding their understanding of the Scriptures and its background.
