2024 Bible School and Conference Costs
Reservation of hotel rooms should be done through the school to receive the preferred hotel rate, to ensure proper coordination, and to support inclusion of meeting rooms and other facilities provided to the Bible school by the hotel.

Larger families that cannot be accommodated in one room will receive a 50% discount on the second room (immediate family only). If your family could be accommodated in one room, but still prefer a second room, this is still available at normal rates.
Full time attendees will be provided with full accommodation. Tuition covers the cost of meals and operating the Bible school, including speakers and class related costs.
Part time visitors/attendees are welcome, however, pre-registration is requested to facilitate planning.
