Spiritual Emphasis
At the heart of Athens Bible School's mission is the desire to train our students to love the Lord and be obedient to His Word.
.
To this end, ABS offers daily Bible classes for all students. The program is structured in such a way that grades kindergarten through fourth study the entire Bible story each year. This produces strong foundations in Bible knowledge from an early start. Grades five through eleven study various portions of the Bible as they continue to build on the knowledge already achieved. Twelfth graders participate in a topical study which seeks to prepare them for questions they will face in life. Another important part of our school day is our chapel assembly. This provides the opportunity for students to reflect on a message presented from God's word as well as the opportunity to sing and pray. Each Friday young men from high school classes organize and direct the worship period.
