In Depth Bible Seminar
for International Students and Scholars

May 14-21, 2025

We all have questions about God, what he’s done and what that means for our lives. At the In Depth Bible Seminar in May 2025 you’ll meet other international students and scholars from across the US who are following Jesus or who are seriously learning about him. You’ll also learn from American Christians who minister among people of many cultures, love to answer questions and are easy to get to know. 

This year we’ll study the gospel of John together and learn about our three-in-one God, his gift of salvation, the washing of baptism, and being part of his body the church. You’ll share your journey with Jesus and think about how to tell others about your journey.  

Hundreds of international students and scholars have found that the In Depth Bible Seminar is a place to ask questions freely, learn and learn how to keep learning, develop faith friendships and grow in their relationship with Jesus. We’d love for you to benefit as they have.
