What is Bible Education in School Time?

Bible Education in School Time (BEST) is a time set aside during the public school day when students with parental permission may leave the school to attend off-campus Bible classes. Classes are held at a nearby church or non-school building. BEST is the only means by which Christian education, which is intended to help students cultivate a Biblical worldview, is allowed during the school day. BEST reinforces the constitutionally protected rights of parents to direct the religious upbringing of their children.

Spartanburg County Bible Education in School Time

(SCBEST) is Spartanburg County’s own BEST program.  We have been offering classes to students in Spartanburg for 12 years. We offer Christian education, just as students would receive if they attended a private Christian school, using specific curriculum to acquaint students with their creator and a Biblical worldview. As a locally run and supported ministry, we provide classes during the school day to nurture, encourage, and guide students in the many choices they face.  We emphasize that every aspect of life should be lived for the glory of God, and thus we expect our ministry to have a positive influence on family relationships, friendships, work ethics, study habits, discipline, morality, maturity etc.
