Mission

Promoting Biblical literacy and spiritual growth in our lives, families, churches, communities and nations.

The Bible Literacy Plan

It's simple. In today's busy world with fast technology, mass communications, and confusion about religion itself, this Bible study program is designed to simplify learning what's actually in the Bible. You can help connect Christians and seekers wherever they are engage with their Bible, a small-group study, or a convenient Sunday school class focused on learning God's narrative story of the whole Bible. The Guide, formatted into a typical paperback for a book study, organizes the individuals and group for the journey. Online tools speed the process of reading, cross-referencing and group communications.

Combining Biblical-theology teaching with inductive-learning framework, this plan doesn't re-invent the wheel. The 30 lessons cover an even blend of historical narrative and canonical content. They cover and emphasize in 30 themes the core theological doctrines that unify Christ-centered, Bible-teaching churches, while leaving the "non-essentials" and post-Biblical traditions to other discussions and classes. Like other structured Bible studies, learners "jump in" with prepared questions and small, facilitated discussions, and in class formats they hear summaries from trained teachers.

Spiritual Growth Within the Church Community

Church leadership can adopt the plan by choosing a teacher and leader team to use the 30- and 15-lesson books and resources that conveniently fit into your church calendar. These leaders are prepared and equipped to lead, teach and sustain the curricula within the annual church programs and broader community. The Genesis-to-Revelation study continuously provides the foundation for--and increased interest in--more in-depth Biblical studies within church programs.

The Bible Study Guide

The Bible Study Guide is a whole-Bible inductive study that was compiled, written, and taught in classes over two decades. In 2017 it was re-written and published in book format for wider availability to individuals, small groups and classes. Hundreds of students have completed the study in several groups and churches, with copies now reaching across 26 states. The Bible Study Guide is the main tool of the church or group's plan, keeping each person engaged in the Word and prepared for the next meeting or class discussion.
