Down in the Old Stables live Doug and Maggie Curry with children Gordon, Beth, Suzanne and Catherine. Coburn Dagenhart lives in the old Pump House, a property attached to the Manor House. Dawn Dahl lives in a flat at the top of the Manor, with Rudiger and Deike Sumann living in a flat at the back of the house. It is difficult to describe L'Abri adequately because we do not easily fit into any one category, but essentially we are a missionary study centre in a fairly obvious family context. Students live in one of the four dormitory rooms in the Manor House, but eat many of their meals in the homes of the workers.
Students come for varying periods from a day or weekend up to a whole term.
Some are non-Christians who are searching for answers to their questions. Others are mature Christians wanting to learn more. Others are trying to sort things out, whether spiritually, intellectually, morally or emotionally. One of our staff will act as your tutor, meeting with you regularly to guide your studies and to discuss personal issues and to help you get the most out of your time. The central thrust of our teaching is that biblical Christianity is true - not just a way of life, not one more religious option or one more spiritual experience, but the truth.
