Pastor Alan Berry taught the class which met one night a week, in two nine month segments, taking almost two years to complete. In the beginning there were eight students, with other additions later, but these two remained faithful to the end.

ROGMA was designed for Secondary School and higher educational level. It was written by Dr. William Piper. The objective of this course was to cover every major Bible doctrine in order to equip students with a working knowledge of the Scriptures.

Each of the 36 lessons is clear, well-outlined, and comprehensive, without being tedious. They have been prepared for serious-minded Christians who sincerely want to know what the Bible teaches. Designed to be taken as a three-year course, students are free to move as fast as they are able or willing.

For the graduation service, special Speaker was Jerry Amato, from Bethany Baptist Church, Raleigh, NC, and Rachel Alsmeyer from the same church played several violin pieces. Tian Frederick from Barrouallie was the MC and also led the singing and played in a violin trio.

Sherryann Shallow and Esther Nero are both teachers in the Barrouallie area.
