MEMBERSHIP OPTIONS
PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP
Our premium membership option offers complete access to all lesson plans, videos and exams, plus any extra resources, for a one-time payment. This is by far the best value option granting significant savings and immediate access to all the spirit life material for a fabulous five years.
MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP
Our monthly option also offers complete access to all lessons, videos, exams and extra resources–but this time 12 easy payments are made each month for 12 months. Both premium and monthly options give a full 5 years access to all the spirit life Bible school material.
MODULE-BY-MODULE MEMBERSHIP
Finally, the module-by-module option allows students to purchase individual modules, which includes all lessons in that particular module, the exam for that module, and any videos and extra resources associated with it. One full year of access is granted, which will be extended every time the student purchases a subsequent module.
For example, if the student buys a module 1 they will get one full year’s access. If they then purchase module 2 six months later, they will be granted a further full-year of access to both modules 1 and 2. If module 3 is then purchased (or any chosen module on the school for that matter), the student will have a full year’s access to all three purchase modules.
This allows students to work happily at their own pace, and as long as new modules are purchased within one year of the previous module purchase, access to all the chosen modules is automatically extended.
Is the Spirit Life Bible School for me?
The Spirit Life Bible School is a flexible resource and has been designed and priced so it can be used by individuals as well as in a formal ministry school situation. Each module purchased by a Bible student provides them with comprehensive and illustrated notes covering the chosen subject. Each lesson has more than enough information to provide a thorough exploration of its subject, and also provides avenues for the motivated student to dig further into the Scriptures. The lesson plans are written with practical application in mind, and designed to engage the student beyond mere reading.
The Spirit Life Bible School material is perfectly suited to be taught in a corporate Bible School environment, or to be studied as an individual seeking greater insight into the Scriptures and what they teach.
Membership also offers online exams with a final certificate of accreditation and recognition from the Christian Outreach Centre movement of churches.
What is included?
The School is broken into nine in depth doctrinal modules, and an extensive and beautifully illustrated Bible Overview, which gives rich insight into each book of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.
With three simple levels of membership: Premium, Monthly or Module-by-Module, there is a study solution to suit everyone’s need and budget.
Our prayer is that the notes, now available for purchase and download, will be used extensively throughout the world to equip and edify the Body of Christ for purity and effective ministry in the Word of God.

David’s graphic design background has also provided the necessary skills to produce a uniquely graphic-rich set of notes, moving typical Bible School material to another level of immediacy, excellence and interest.
David successfully graduated from the Christian Outreach Centre European School of Ministries in 1995, and in the years that followed was enrolled as a teacher on the school. He was also part of the teaching staff of the Ministry Training Institute.
