About IBS Seminar
What this Course is all about
The overall objective of the Inductive Bible Study (IBS) Seminar is to engage regular church-goers, working people, full-time students, YWAM staff, and all those who are unable, due to time limitations, to attend a regular 9 month SBS Bible course. It will enable them to learn how to study the Bible using the Inductive Method, hence empowering them to equip their churches with this powerful tool to be able to lead strong Bible study groups in their communities. By introducing the SBS method in a very simplified manner while keeping its strong inductive approach, we want to train more leaders in Christian ministries to embrace the inductive biblical approach and be able to serve their churches with strong biblical foundations.
At the heart of everything that we do is our commitment to making SBS teaching and resources accessible to the church and communities we serve. We invite you to explore this precious course and join learners from all cultural backgrounds and levels.

-Learn the general principles of the SBS Inductive Bible Study Method
