Bible study leader training
Sundays | 8:30 AM | Room 205
Resuming soon!
Pastor Lance Quinn's course, Grasping God's Word, is for those interested in leading or facilitating Bible studies at Bethany Bible Church. This class is also for those who would like to sharpen their reading, interpreting and application of God's Word.
Text: Grasping God's Word, Third Edition, by J. Scott Duvall, J. Daniel Hays, Kevin J. Vanhoozer and Mark L. Strauss
Grasping God's Word is an indispensable guide to reading, interpreting, and applying the Bible. It teaches college-level students and lay learners how to read the Word of God carefully and in context on their quest to gain a firm grasp on the rock of God’s word.
Old Testament scholar J. Daniel Hays and New Testament expert J. Scott Duvall provide practical, hands-on exercises to guide students through the interpretive process. To emphasize the Bible’s redemptive arc and encourage correlation across the biblical canon, the authors have included a call to "Consult the biblical map. How does a theological principle fit with the rest of the Bible?" as an additional step in the Interpretive Journey.
For additional details, please contact Pastor Lance Quinn.

fundamentals of the faith
The Fundamentals of the Faith (FOF) class covers thirteen lessons blending basic biblical truths with personal obedience and service. Topics range from the character of God to church participation, so it's an ideal study for new believers or a helpful review and fresh encouragement for even the most seasoned saints. The current FOF session is underway and is led by Patrick LaCanfora. Visitors are welcome and we encourage you to sign up for the next session!

family hour - parents & children
Parents and children are welcomed and encouraged to praise God together through fun worship songs. We will also have a short Bible lesson followed by Family Table Time. The Family Table Time is designed to facilitate family discussions that reinforce important biblical truths from the lesson using thought provoking and creative learning activities. We also encourage each family to use the Generations of Grace Companion Family Devotional Booklet during the week ($10). The Devotional Booklet has daily passages and discussion questions to help the father/parents disciple their children at home daily by both reviewing and going in-depth on the lesson and bible passages taught the prior Sunday.
Join us for a time of fellowship, singing, and learning!
Currently, we're meeting via Zoom but will be back on campus soon.
