Keeping the Bible and Prayer in our Schools
Coastal School Ministries works in partnership with Horry County Public Schools to expose youth to Biblical Principles through Released-Time Bible Education. Released-Time Bible Education classes are offered multiple class periods each day, five days a week throughout the school year.

What We Offer
Released-Time Bible Education classes offer students a safe venue to ask questions without fear or ridicule. In this safe environment, students are challenged to think about their beliefs and define their baseline for defining right and wrong and evaluating the challenges and choices they face daily.
Our Curriculum
Students receive substantial Bible instruction time that includes 135 hours of Bible instruction per semester for high school students and 68 hours of Bible instruction per semester for middle school students. Compare this to an adult attending one church service weekly receives 52 hours of “instruction” per year.
