The Purpose of Gospel City Academy

The Bible is not merely a true story, it is the true story of the world. The goal of Gospel City Academy is to go book by book through the Bible’s one true story so that we can know it more deeply, live according to it more faithfully, and love its main character (Jesus!) more fervently. If you loved Core Scripture and are hungry for more, Academy is for you!
