Why Entrusted to Teach
‘Those who serve have a sacred responsibility to communicate God’s Word as effectively as possible. However, teachers and Bible study leaders may not be fully equipped to do this.
“What is it about a small group Bible study class that has people returning and new people joining? Why that group? I believe it has to do with people connecting to God’s Word and to each other. What is the catalyst that God uses to create a spiritual and socially thriving group? The answer is clear. It is a spirit-led leader who has a heart for others.” – Dr. Terry Lanford
The Problem of Biblical Illiteracy
A survey of graduating high school seniors revealed that over 50 percent thought that Sodom and Gomorrah were husband and wife.
Many Christians cannot identify more than two or three of the disciples.
According to data from the Barna Research Group, 60 percent of Americans can’t name even five of the Ten Commandments.
what we do
Entrusted to Teach Ministries provides training and resources to local churches in an effort to strengthen small group Bible teaching.
Entrusted to Teach training workshops are designed to provide much needed practical matters such as the basics of Bible study lesson preparation, and lesson presentation, but goes beyond the traditional training to address spiritual preparation and passion in teaching.
ETT is a nonprofit ministry that seeks to assist churches and pastors in equipping small group Bible teachers.
What people are saying . . .
“Any church that wants to improve their Bible teaching ministry will find this resource very helpful.” Dr. Mike Hamlet, Pastor of First Baptist North Spartanburg.
“Though Hosea 4:6 was written about ancient Israel, the assessment is applicable for much of the church today: ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.’ In astute response to this, Dr. Terry Lanford has created a truly unique new training resource to improve the church’s levels of teaching and learning. I plan to promote this as much as possible- the content can benefit churches everywhere.”
Dr. Alex McFarland author / apologist / media voice for Christianity
“Great course! I enjoyed it all. Entrusted to Teach Bible study leader training will help us as we train and develop future Bible teachers.”
Jeremy Bell (Pastor of New Hope Baptist Church)
