Church leaders everywhere are asking the same question: How do we help our people truly know and love the Bible—not just hear it? Jimmy and Kelly Needham helped to answer this question in their webinar, How to Build Biblical Literacy in Your Church.
This webinar offers a clear, practical roadmap for building biblical literacy for those you lead, and it highlights a truth many ministries are waking up to: Biblical literacy isn’t automatic. It’s built.
Watch the full webinar here, and read some of the key takeaways below.
The Hidden Gap in Most Churches
In their webinar, Jimmy and Kelly Needham point out a challenge many leaders sense but rarely name: Exposure to Scripture isn’t the same as understanding Scripture.
People attend services, join groups, and read supplemental materials, but still feel unsure about how to study the Bible on their own.
The good news? Bible study skills can be taught.
A Practical Path Toward Building Biblical Literacy in Your Church
This webinar outlines several strategies any ministry can begin using right away.
- Teach a simple, repeatable study method. When people learn a clear process for observing, interpreting, and applying Scripture, the Bible becomes accessible instead of intimidating.
- Create environments where people can practice. Workshops, small groups, and guided sessions help people move from passive listening to active engagement.
- Help people see the big story of Scripture. Moving beyond isolated verses to whole‑passage understanding builds theological stability and long‑term confidence to study the Bible independently.
How Building Biblical Literacy Impacts Your Ministry
In this webinar, you’ll learn how churches that invest in biblical literacy see transformation ripple outward:
- People grow in discernment and spiritual resilience.
- Groups become more vibrant and self‑sustaining.
- Leaders multiply more naturally.
- Congregations become less dependent on personalities and more anchored in Scripture.
In other words, biblical literacy fuels discipleship.
