HOLISTIC APPROACH
We teach so that you will know God deeply in his Word, love him passionately, live powerfully for his glory, proclaim him boldly, and serve him effectively in your real world.
“I am excited about Core School of the Bible and the Bible and theology training done by Jeff Olson. Jeff is an experienced, insightful, and skilled teacher who is faithful to Scripture. I am happy to recommend him to churches and individuals who want to broaden and deepen their knowledge of God and His Word.”
Randy Alcorn - Eternal Perspective Ministries
“I have known Jeff Olson for 34 years. During this time, he has faithfully and passionately taught the whole counsel of God’s Word. Professor Olson is a pastor-scholar who can teach any portion of Scripture in an understandable, memorable, and applicable way. Core School of the Bible’s Certificate in Biblical Studies is your quickest path to grasp the story of Scripture. Your investment in God’s Word under Jeff’s teaching will become one of your greatest treasures in this life and the next.”
Keith Krell, PhD, DMin - Crossroads Bible Church, Bellevue WA
“As someone who loves biblical and theological training for the church I’m glad to see the launch of Core School of the Bible. I have known Jeff Olson since he was a young seminarian. We have served together on the pastoral Staff of a large church where Jeff was the college age pastor. Jeff is a serious Bible student, functional in the original languages, and faithful in living out the principles. He has a strong teaching gift. If you are hungry to know God and his Word more deeply, Core School of the Bible is for you!”
