Biblical Studies at The King’s Lodge

We have a rich inheritance of Biblical Training at The King’s Lodge.   The first School of Biblical Studies in Europe was pioneered here in 1985.  Since then, we have run the School of Biblical Studies every year and have developed other Biblical Training courses since that time. It has been a privilege to invest in pioneering these courses in other locations in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.  We love to partner with other locations and we send out several of our Biblical Studies teachers each year to teach and minister the Word of God.

We would love you to join us to study and be impacted by God’s word, so that together we can not only be blessed but be a blessing to many.
