This component can be taken by joining a group or by correspondence. It requires about 30 mins. for prayer, Bible reading and course study, covering about two chapters of the Bible daily, though that may vary as God's Spirit challenges your understanding, attitudes and life-style. It is a reading course - not an academic study, nor a series of meditations - a guide to understanding the ways of God's Spirit in the Scriptures.

These components are covered by attendance at eight (minimum six) teaching days a year and by using one recommended textbook for each of the four subjects. These subjects may be studied separately after completing the Bible Reading Course, or may be taken alongside it, whichever is more suited to the student.
These last 3-4 days and are held annually at Roffey Place, Lamplugh House, or one of our other centres. Their purpose, besides giving further teaching on the Certificate subjects, is to give encouragement and to stimulate growth in spirit, in understanding, in vision and in hope. Spiritual life is often better caught than taught.
