Details

Every Christian community is called to introduce the Bible to new audiences: to children who are invited to open their Bibles for the first time and to seekers and new believers who are just learning their way around the Bible. We also are called to invite life-long believers to rediscover their first love for the Bible all over again, reintroducing the Bible in ways that overcome past approaches that may have missed key aspects of what the Bible offers us through the Spirit. We respond to this calling in many ways: in church education programs, in personal Bible reading programs, and in public worship. The session has engaged with educators and authors whose ministry has been focusing on the joy of this formative aspect of ministry.
