In the Kerygma Program,
"Leader" 
is preferred to teacher,
the leader being a learner among learners.

Kerygma currently offers 33 courses of study: foundational courses for in-depth study of the Bible whole, and shorter studies focusing on a particular theme, topic, or book of the Bible. Each course offers a Resource Book and a Leader’s Guide.

The Resource Book is for participants as well as the Leader(s). The Resource Book is written by a scholar in a "reader-friendly" style and is used along with the Bible.

The Leader’s Guide is written by an educator to unpack the Resource Book’s content into winning strategies for lively, interactive sessions. Our Leader’s Guides suggest a rich variety of learning strategies and offer multiple options for session planning. Leaders can be clergy, educators or lay persons.

Our most recent Leader’s Guides are offered on CD-ROM. Leaders will appreciate being able to use their computer to copy and paste a customized lesson plan from the many activity choices suggested. We will be offering the CD-ROM format on many of our older studies in the near future. Print out available upon request.

 

Kerygma’s Approach to Bible Study

Founded in 1977 with one course of study, The Kerygma Program’s quality resources continue stimulating faith and challenging minds! Kerygma courses will transform and revitalize adult Bible study in your congregation. With Kerygma, participants and leaders will:

  • Learn the basics and complexities of the Bible

  • Develop skills for interpreting Scripture

  • Apply learning from the Bible to personal and corporate life in today’s world

Kerygma studies are for all learners
from beginning to advanced.

The success of the Kerygma approach to adult Bible study is best explained by the enthusiastic classes which make the Bible relevant, promoting Christian growth through interaction with each other.

Active group sessions reinforce
learning and create community.

The Leader’s Guide is designed to create opportunities that stimulate discussion and illuminate the Biblical material through small group encounters. The results are often dramatic, encouraging life changes, personal decisions and building congregational unity.

Informed personal study ensures lively
shared learning!
