Hawthorne Bible School

Hawthorne Bible School

Founded in 1934, the Hawthorne Community Bible School is the oldest Bible school in the New York Metropolitan Area. Each fall and winter, students can enroll in 10-week evening courses designed to deepen their understanding of God’s Word and strengthen their walk with Christ. The school operates on a freewill offering collected at the start of each evening, making it accessible to all who wish to attend.

Through consistent study, students may work toward a three-year certificate or a four-year diploma, awarded through Hawthorne Gospel Church.
