The organization develops curriculum, training and financial resources for elective, for-credit courses in Bible history, using the Bible as the text, taught in a controlled curriculum by trained and certified middle and high school teachers employed by the Hamilton County school system. The group works with other organizations with similar goals and consults with individuals, sponsorship groups and school districts.
Five course options are offered by licensed and state-certified teachers. Classes are for-credit and considered part of the social studies curriculum in the high schools and the Related Arts curriculum in the middle schools. The courses are non-sectarian and are taught as history and literature.
