ARIEL MINISTRIES MESSIANIC BIBLE SCHOOL 2024 at SHOSHANAH CAMPUS
Our 50th Jubilee Year !!

The Shoshanah Campus of Ariel Ministries has a Summer Messianic Jewish Bible study program open to all believers in Yeshua. 1974 was our first year, and the Lord has blessed and grown the facility. This page contains MANY photos of the Messianic Bible Study Program of 2024, our 50th Year!! While the main purpose of the program is the study of the Scriptures from a Jewish frame of reference to become disciples of Messiah Yeshua, we always have a lot of Kosher fun, and these photos often show the fun!

When the Bible School  program began over 40 years ago it was only open to Jewish believers, now it's open to all. It was vital to the early spiritual growth of many, including some who went on to teach there. Some of the believers there have come to faith in recent years. The program entails over 5 hours of classes per day at the Bible College level, so the students tend to be serious and MOST teach Bible themselves in their home areas. In 2024 the program averaged about 35 adult students each week, fully recovered after Covid, with about 145 different students over the full 8 weeks of the teaching schedule.
