The two goals of Christian education, making disciples and teaching them, are set forth by the Lord Jesus in the Great Commission. To the young man, Timothy, Paul wrote, “And the things which thou hast heard from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” 2 Tim. 2:2

The present Bible School movement among the Churches of Christ had its origin in Nashville, Tennessee, under the leadership or Brother James A Harding and Brother David Lipscomb. These men of faith and vision saw the tremendous urgency of providing Bible-centered education for the youth of the Church. Brother Boll and Brother Chambers were greatly influenced by these teachers, and arc in turn spending their lives teaching others. The son-in-law of Bro. Harding, Brother J. N. Armstrong, was for many years the president of Harding College.

Five of the teachers at the Kentucky Bible College are graduates of Harding College: four have taken Bro. Boll’s classes for a number of years. The teaching of godly men is bearing fruit in their lives. Other young Christians are being trained to carry the Gospel to various parts of the world.
