The curriculum we use is called "Worldview Rethink", and is published by Goodseed Canada; the Bible course is about a 20 to 30 hour commitment and we try to cater to the learner(s) to make it as accessible as possible in terms of schedule, venue, group size, and any other way we can. Typically we might set one evening a week to meet and learn. If you are not located near Prince Albert or a surrounding community, still please contact us and we will find a way to accommodate you too.
This in-person course is offered 100% free of charge; we do not accept donations or payment of any kind.
[Worldview Rethink] is about "The Holy Bible." If you are one of those who seriously wants to understand the central message of the Bible, then this [course] is for you.
In communicating the Bible's message, I've tried to be as objective as possible. That is not easy. By its very nature, the Bible demands a response. Nonetheless, I've sought to explain the Bible clearly, allowing it to speak for itself, but letting you draw your own conclusions. What you believe is up to you.
Some may accuse me of losing objectivity because I've communicated the Bible as fact. I've felt that it was a risk I must take as the Bible presents itself in that way. To do otherwise would not be true to the text. The Bible is quite direct in what it has to say, and I was determined to avoid watering down its message or resorting to vagueness...
There is a reason for the Bible being the all-time best seller. It's a fascinating story, a story you really must know for yourself.

During the course there is no pressure for learners to believe anything; what each student believes is up to him or her.
The focus is on a clear understanding of the Bible. There is no expectation for students to contribute thoughts or comments if they do not want to; they can each participate at the level they’re comfortable with.
Participants are not expected to know anything about the Bible. They don’t even need to own a copy. Throughout the course, they will learn the foundational stories and watch the Bible unfold in a way that makes sense.
The course provides the full notes in the form of a course book and workbook. There’s even an interactive DVD or online videos available for students so they can review the material at their own pace.
Students connect directly with hundreds of Bible verses from creation to Christ.
Visual aids and video clips bring the course to life, increasing comprehension and retention. There is no time to be bored!
The curriculum is objective - again, there is no arm twisting. The emphasis is on students gaining a clear understanding of the Bible's message.
