Welcome to IBS, ALCF's Adult Education Ministry!
The Bible plays an essential role in transforming every believer into a fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ, and we're here to help guide you on that journey. In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus challenges all of us to be "good soil" with God's Word by hearing,understanding, and doing His Word
(Matthew 13:1-23).
Ten years ago, the leadership of ALCF launched IBS for the purpose of equipping God's people in learning and living God's Word. Courses are designed to be accessible to everyone, no matter where you are on your Christian journey. most of our courses are held on Sundays and weeknights, for 1.5 to 2 hours each class, and run for six to 10 weeks. We have established a set of four Core Courses that the leadership of ALCF desires everyone to take. These are offered at multiple times throughout the year and can be taken in any order. We also offer numerous Elective Courses to help you learn god's Word and grow in your Christian life, There are no prerequisites for these courses and you don't need to take Core Courses first.
Finally, Special Course Offerings focus on particular ares of learning, ministry, and leadership. These courses do not alway follow our standard format and may also have different requirements.
We work hard to design each of our courses to be an engaging mix of teaching, discussion, and application. We also strive to provide teaching that will allow the living word of God to transform your life. Out teachers are each uniquely gifted to guide you in understanding the Bible and how it can be applied to your life today.
We hope and pray that you will join the thousands of people who have been blessed by taking an IBS course and learning to live god's Word in their everyday lives.
We look forward to seeing you in our classes,
Pastor Greg Sowle, Ryan Wong, and Andrea Alo
