WHO IS IT FOR?
The Intensive is designed for people that are serious about learning from the Bible and passionate about the local church or ministry, no matter what role they are currently in.
Our aim with the Intensive is to provide in-depth, high quality teaching in a smaller setting. This allows for greater interaction around questions so that participants get more out of each session.
With this aim, spaces for the Intensive will be limited to just 25 people. If you're interested, an application is required. Use this form and message 'Intensive' to receive an application to fill out.
PASSED ATTENDEES
"Attending last year’s Bible Coalition Intensive was a real blessing. As a pastor and life-long Bible student, I appreciated the attention to detail and faithfulness to God’s word that both challenged and inspired me to go deeper.
The intimate environment was conducive to robust iron-sharpening discussion, and the speakers were engaging, caring less about politically correct themes and more about the fidelity and application of the word, and putting the evangel back into evangelicalism. I came away the better for it and would highly recommend it!"

Key differences to 'Captivated'

The Intensive is aimed at people passionate about the local church or ministry, and serious about engaging with the subjects offered.
You are welcome to attend both 'Truth Matters' and the Intensive (both at separate costs) or just the Intensive.
