School Of The Bible

In 1985, Dr. Phillip Wiley established the BREAD OF LIFE SCHOOL OF THE BIBLE, which includes five levels of learning. Through these courses hundreds of students, primarily lay people, have been trained for the work of the ministry. The School of the Bible material is also being used in Germany, Uganda, Italy, France, and has been translated into Portuguese and Russian for use in Brazil and Ukraine.

SCHOOL OF THE BIBLE classes start in September and finish in May at Bread of Life Church. These classes are open to the public. Please call Bread of Life Church at (434) 821-7073 for more information, or to register for these classes.

LEVEL ONE: FOUNDATIONS AND FUNDAMENTALS, was birthed out of the Holy Spirit's leading to establish an on-going training program to teach and establish men and women in the Word of God and in the moving of God's Holy Spirit, to equip the saints for the work of the ministry, and to establish believers in practical Biblical principles. Level One has twelve classes which deal with basic Foundations Of The Faith. Every believer needs these first principles of God's Word if he/she is going to successfully fulfill his/her spiritual responsibility and become a part of this corporate, mature, Glorious Church described in the Book of Ephesians.
