Reviveschool
ReviveSCHOOL is a two-year program of Biblical Studies courses that teaches through the Bible daily, from Genesis to Revelation. Teaching and study are focused on seeing the Complete Portrait of the Messiah as depicted in all 66 books of the Bible.

When: Meets every 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month | 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
