Bible Workshop
The Excel Still More Bible workshop is designed for the Bible student (the Christian) to dive into an in-depth study of God’s Word. In this workshop, we Learn the text, Apply the text, and Build our faith from the text. This L.A.B technique allows us to cover each chapter of the book of study three times from three different vantage points helping us excel in our understanding of not only what His Word has to say but also how it can and should affect our lives.
