I am older than 20, can I still attend Bible school?

You are never too old for Bible school! The average age of students is 18-21, but there is no age limit. If you would prefer to attend with other older students, the three-week Bible school courses at Credo in Switzerland or Holsby in Sweden, for example, are designed for students 25 years and older.

Generally, you must be 18 in order to attend Bible school. If you are under 18 and have completed high school (or the equivalent), please contact the center you wish to attend, as exceptions can be (and have been) made.

Can I attend more than one Bible school?

You could, for example, study at one center for the fall semester and go to another center for the winter and spring semesters.

Look through the centers pages and visit center websites to find programs that will work for you or contact us if you would like help figuring out your options.
