Grounding Your Church in God’s Word
In Barna’s research of thriving churches, the Bible-Centeredness dimension measures how well a church helps congregants understand and live out biblical teachings. In an age when information is everywhere but truth often feels unclear, churches rooted in scripture provide the clarity and stability people crave. A Bible-centered church doesn’t just teach the Word—it forms people through it, helping them see the world and their calling through a biblical lens. And this course on Bible-Centeredness will help position you to do just that within your own church.
This three session course takes about 60-90 minutes to complete, and is designed for both self-paced or team-based learning.
Here's what you'll do in the course:
- Learn what Barna’s data reveals about how being Bible-centered impacts spiritual growth and why keeping the Bible central is essential for church health
- Hear practical strategies from church leaders like David Kinnaman and Tara Beth Leach
- Walk through a tested field guide to assess your church’s current reality and identify tangible next steps to help your people engage deeply with God’s Word
