How to Build Biblical Literacy in Your Church/Ministry with Kelly and Jimmy Needham
March 2, 2026. 1:00pm
You teach the Bible every week. You encourage daily prayer and Scripture reading. You recommend books and studies and commentaries. But do the people in your church truly know how to study the Bible for themselves? Join Jimmy and Kelly Needham for this practical and encouraging webinar that will equip pastors, ministry leaders, and educators to cultivate deep, lasting biblical literacy among the people they lead.
Through teaching, Q+A, and a hands-on exercise, you'll gain tools to equip your congregation with Bible study skills that will last a lifetime. Help the people you lead move beyond familiarity with verses to an ability to read and understand Scripture on their own. Whether your church is just beginning to assess its approach to theological literacy or is looking to strengthen an existing program, this webinar will provide tools, examples, and actionable strategies for helping your people know and love God’s Word.
