Strengthening Faith for the Future

Prime provides the tools to help ground students in Basic Doctrine and Spiritual Discplines
and equip parents and pastors to answer the complex set of questions facing students today
with the Biblical Worldview in mind.

  • Biblical Worldview

    Biblical truth for addressing life's biggest questions.
    Give students the confidence to enter their universities and workplaces knowing that the Bible continues to provide relevant truth to life’s biggest challenges. Professors teach on the Biblical view of Justice, Race, Immigration, Mental Health, Poverty, Marriage and Family, Gender, Sanctity of life to name a few.

  • Basic Doctrine

    Know the primary components
    of their faith.
    Why scripture can be trusted? How do we know God exists? What is the purpose of mankind? Who is Christ and why the Incarnation matters. What is the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives? Why does Church Matter? What does sin do to our lives? What are the benefits of the atonement? And many more.

  • Spiritual Growth

    Develop the mental and moral qualities of Christian character. Help students develop their own spiritual practices. Professors teach practical skills like time-management and developing friendships; spiritual skills like developing a devotional time, the value of worship and the word as well as teach on character qualities of honesty and generosity.

What People Are Saying About PRIME

Isabella Marin, PRIME Student

“PRIME gave me the ability to minister to others in high school. I was able to grow in my relationship with the Lord. Til this day, I still see the fruit of what I learned at PRIME.”

Jennifer Corbus, Parent

“My son’s life was miraculously transformed by the teaching at PRIME. It led him to know he had a purpose and a future, and on top of that, receiving college credit gave him the confidence to pursue more academic goals.”

Quin Snyder, Youth Pastor

"As a youth pastor for 10 years, I can confidently say that PRIME is the most effective thing we’ve ever done in youth ministry. By partnering with Portland Bible College we went from simply being a place that gathers young people to a place that produces disciples. Our youth are assimilating their faith into their everyday lives."

FAQ

  • How many lectures are available in PRIME?

    Prime has four parts - PRIME01, PRIME02, PRIME03 and PRIME04. Each section of PRIME includes 18 lectures - 6 lectures on Biblical Doctrine, 6 lectures on Worldviews and 6 lectures on spiritual disciplines. There are a total of 72 lectures in the series and no topic is repeated. Students or groups do not need to start at the beginning of PRIME, but can step into any section of PRIME.

  • Is it possible to get college credit from PRIME?

    Yes. Students can get Portland Bible College credit through PRIME for an additional cost. It is optional to take advantage of this, but it is also a great incentive for parents to buy in. Each section of PRIME is worth 1 semester credit. Students can get up to 4 credits if they attend all four sections of PRIME.

  • What is the level of the content in the lectures?

    It is college level content, packaged in a way that is appropriate for the attention span of a high school student. The content is not exhaustive, but it is designed to spark a new curiosity regarding topics that go beyond what they are usually exposed to in Sunday school and Youth groups.

  • Are there age limitations on who can enroll in PRIME?

    Highschool students, College students and young adults have all reported that the content and topics are extremely relevant to their current context. We think the ideal age is 16-24 year olds, but many adults, especially parents of young adults, find the topics very helpful. Students should have completed 8th grade as a minimum.

  • Is the scheduling of the program customizable?

    Yes. We will provide to you what we did and how we did it, but you are able to rearrange the components however they fit best for your group. We offered three lectures a week over 6 weeks. Some groups have done two lectures a week over 9 weeks during a Fall or Spring term.

  • How long do I get access to the material?

    Each section you sign up for will be available to access and use for six months.
