In the first year at LOBC, you receive foundational teaching on Christian beliefs and faith-related topics. The subjects in Year 2 are more advanced and have a more practical focus. Mission and leadership are also central themes in Year 2, and you will have the opportunity to go on several longer mission trips. (Read more about Year 1 and Year 2.)

Your application is not transferable, but you are welcome to apply again. Please note that we will also need new recommendations and a new application fee.

Year 1

The first year at Bible school provides you with a foundational introduction to God, the Bible, and the Christian life in a vibrant environment where you have space and time to get to know God and yourself, while also being equipped to be a witness wherever you are.

Year 2

Year 2 is a natural progression from your first year at LOBC, which is also a so-called “Folkhögskola” course in collaboration with Umeå Folkhögskola. Here, you will dive deeper into God’s Word while being practically equipped and challenged as a leader. A large part of the year focuses on practical experience, where you can specialize in mission or local church leadership.
