| Bible School Semester Detail
Semester 1
The Torchbearer Bible School and Discipleship Program at Timberline
Lodge is an interdenominational, college level educational program that
gives students a broad and deep understanding of the Bible, and how to
study and apply Gods word. Excellent instruction is provided by an
adjunct faculty from around the world, and all have special expertise in
Bible education. During the Fall semester, students focus on balanced
development of mind, spirit and body through a combination of Bible
instruction and assignments; prayer, worship and reflection; work duties
and service to others; and, participation in outdoor adventures that
only the Rocky Mountains can provide. A key element of the program at
Timberline is discipleship, and in the first semester, students begin to
develop a disciple relationship with a covenant partner, who is a member
of the Timberline staff.

Semester 2
Because of the small school size (up to 24 students), the focus of the second semester is on individualized development of
students in their Christian walk through one-to-one discipleship, guided
study, and service to Timberline guests and the community. Students are
assigned an individual discipler who will mentor their student and
review progress in their faith walk. Much of the emphasis in this phase
of the Bible School and Discipleship Program is on development and
application of servant leadership skills, so that students are better
equipped to serve in a variety of ways in the church. To develop those
skills, students assist in worship, lead work activities, and host and
guide church youth group participants who come to Timberline as part of
our Guest Program. For more information, or to request an application for enrollment in
our Timberline Lodge Bible School and Discipleship Program,
