Curriculum
The first semester (First week of September through mid-December) consists primarily of Biblical instruction in a classroom format and weekly local outreaches. Various books of the Bible are taught by Timberline staff, local pastors, missionaries, and staff from other Torchbearer Centers. The Discipleship experience begins in the fall as students are paired with a staff member for prayer, availability, support and encouragement. A typical week first semester consists of around16+hr/wk in the classroom.
The second semester (beginning of January through mid-May) consists of Biblical instruction through classroom lectures, and practical application through our winter guest ministry. The Discipleship experience continues in the second semester with weekly times of spiritual formation through prayer and interaction with God’s Word.
Throughout the winter months, Timberline opens its doors to serve as a Mountain Adventure Ministry to church youth groups and other guests. The second semester gives students the opportunity to develop leadership skills through service and youth ministry. Students serve several hours each work day when guests are at the lodge. This will consist of helping in the areas of: kitchen work, housekeeping, maintenance, and guest programming
