Precept Ministries International is a transdenominational organization dedicated to the sole purpose of teaching people to study God's Word for themselves and apply its truths to their daily lives. This is achieved through the inductive study method, a highly effective way of seeking out answers and understanding Scripture.

Inductive study draws you into personal interaction with the Bible.  Before seeking insights from commentaries or bible scholars, you go straight to the Word itself.  The Word of God then becomes the plumb line, the standard of truth, to measure all you believe and all you do.  The result is a life changed by the power of the Holy Spirit.  The more you delve into the Word of God and adjust your thinking and behavior to its precepts for life, the more you are transformed into the likeness of Jesus Christ--the Savior of the world and coming King of Kings.

Observation - We begin by giving you some tools to help you carefully observe the text to discover exactly what God is saying.

Interpretation - Careful observation enables us to discover what the text means in its context.

Application - Observation and interpretation lead us to apply what we've learned and live the life God intended.

Description: Precept Ministries is an in-depth Bible study. From beginning to end John reveals Jesus as the Son of God. From chapters 1-11, we gained a more intimate relationship with Him as we learned to walk in the Light of the world. Now learn about His death, burial, and resurrection, and their significance to you in chapters 12-21 as Jesus draws His disciples aside to prepare them for what is to come. Join us in this awesome 14-week study of John Part 2, August 19/20—November 18/19. Study groups meet in the Fellowship Hall located in the Worship Center, Tuesday evenings 7:00—9:00 p.m. or Wednesday mornings 9:30—11:30 a.m. Workbooks cost $23 and are available in the church office.
