Our Values

FOLLOW GOD’S WORD

We believe that God’s Word is sacred, it is not a suggestion but an actual way of life

TRUTH OF THE BIBLE

The Bible is correct. This is our first and foremost approach. From this basic understanding, we can debate, analyze and dive deeper into the Bible

TEACHING THE BIBLE VIA ARCHEOLOGY

Visual and physical contact – our way of teaching is by close and personal encounter with the Bible at the sites where the events took place, by seeing the physical evidence, one can face the truth of the Bible – based on archeological finds.

TEACHING gOD’S WORD

Now this is the commandment, and these are the statutes and judgments which the LORD your God has commanded to teach you, that you may observe them in the land which you are crossing over to possess, that you may fear the LORD your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged.
