Bible Houses
Rivers of Life believe that as well as secular preparation for life, e.g., a university degree, one needs to be prepared in other ways such as service, living in community and studying the word. For this reason Bible Houses were formed with the vision of preparing young people in areas mentioned above. The course lasts for 2 years.
