The Book of the Ages

Our New Monthly Bible study, "Christ our Assurance," will be posted on May 1^st, Lord willing!

Christianity is not just the proclamation of the Gospel; it is also the example of the Gospel!

Monthly Leadership Article

What is Leadership?

A basic description of leadership is the duty and call of the person who is in charge to take charge with courage and character, and to risk leading his/her people where they need to go and how they need to be led. It is a position that seeks vision, opportunities, and needs and then motivates others to get it done through the resources, talents, and time they can contribute...

We Need Your Partnership! Why?

What happens when you support us?

Your gift is not only supporting us to do ministry, but you partner with us to come along side to do real ministry to other pastors too. You help those in ministry who have no means to go to higher education or receive seminary level educational resources or the means to pastor their flock effectively.

Why should you support Into Thy Word?

We Need your Help! Every small bit of help, helps us serve our Lord!

It is our VISION and call, and commitment to point the church back onto the path of making disciples. It is our passion and directive to lead Christians away from our false perceptions and into His way.

Help us help them, help us help you!

Church Growth Tip of the Week

Teach and model Discipleship, so that personal disciplines are in the Word, and you are filled with excitement and wonder, willing to train, share, and/or teach others what you have learned. (Matthew 28:18-20)

Prayer Guide for your Church and Pastor!

Pray that the Word of God will never be compromised, cheapened, or dumbed down, rather be delivered in confidence with power, conviction, clarity, boldness, with love, and in truth (Acts 6:4; Col. 1:28; 1 Tim. 2:1-2; 2 Tim. 2:15).
