Mission Briefing Bible Time
LESSONS
During the lesson time, God’s Word is taught in hands-on ways.
Welcome to Spy University!
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to train special agents to detect false intel and to know, love, and live for the one and only God. When cadets arrive at Spy University, they’ll uncover counterfeit views of God and recognize the one true God of the Bible, find that God is a trinity, collect clues to reveal how to become a child of God, crack codes to discover attributes of God, and discover that God created them and wants to be their first love.
Grab your gear and head to the Spy U campus for a week of adventure as you lead your cadets to the one true God!
