Applications for the 2023-24 Emerge year are now closed. Emerge exists to empower individuals towards greater wholeness in their lives, equipping them with tools to cultivate and sustain a thriving relationship with Jesus.
We believe that the Bible, the living Word of God, is the most trustworthy source of wisdom, formation, leadership and guidance for followers of Jesus; producing life, and illuminating our way as we seek to become more like Jesus. We long to see the Word of God woven into the heart of every generation.
The Emerge Bible Intensive is a six month inductive study of the Word of God specifically focused on a selection of books from the New Testament. With an emphasis on understanding the cultural and historical context of each book, while trusting the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we seek to become Biblically literate, Spirit led followers of Jesus who wholeheartedly embrace and live out the truth of God’s Word.
What is inductive study?
Biblical inductive study uses Biblical inductive reasoning to come to conclusions about the meaning of the text through observation as opposed to widely accepted facts or assumed premises, which is deductive reasoning.
The Emerge Bible intensive utilizes the inductive study method to understand concrete, timeless truths from the text. We will utilize widely accepted facts in our teaching primarily as they relate to the historical and cultural context of the text we are studying.

The Bible intensive includes a weekly 3 hour class time as well as 10 hours a week of outside study time. The total weekly investment of your time will be 13 hours each week.
