Explore the Scriptures
All who love the Bible are invited to come together for a time of fellowship and scholarship! Join us in the inspirational setting of the Rocky Mountains for Bible Study, discussions with other spiritual thinkers, recreation, and relaxation.
At the A/U Ranches’ Adult Bible Study program, you'll discover the Bible’s relevance for today’s society and how its teachings can guide individuals and churches alike. Days are a mix of study, lively discussion, and times of rest and relaxation. Delicious meals and new friendships await all.

2025 Topic The Gospel of Luke
In the Gospel of Luke, as the Frederick Faber hymn tells us, we find “a wideness in God’s mercy like the wideness of the sea.” But Luke’s Jesus is also a prophet holding our feet to the fire if found out of spiritual alignment with God. This Gospel is far from business as usual. As we study Jesus’ prophetic role in Luke, we will keep in mind Luke’s sequel, the Book of Acts — the story of the Church — and explore ways today’s congregations define their role in a world seeking justice, peace, and genuine community.

Financial aid is available through The Campership Fund (TCF), an organization that supports individuals attending any Christian Science camp. To apply for funds, fill out TCF’s campership application. They can meet up to 75% of tuition costs (including program and stayover fees).
