Our Courses

KLBC seeks to provide students with a quality educational experience. The main emphasis of this experience is the classroom curriculum which is Bible centered and Bible based. The goal at KLBC is that the nearly 550 hours of biblical instruction which takes place in the classroom over the course of the year will translate into the application of these truths in the daily lives of the students.

The aim in all of the courses is that they would assist students in establishing a firm foundation upon which they can build for the rest of their lives as they discover why they believe what they believe, grow in their personal walk with the Lord, gain a greater understanding of their culture and are further equipped to serve in the mission of the church.

Students graduating from the First Year program receive a Diploma of Biblical Studies.
