Why Curricula?

The call upon the church by God is first to “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” (Matt. 22:36). The education of Christians in what the Bible says about God and man is not a hinderance, but rather an imperative in the Christian life.

Our curricula aims at helping you and your church do this: to see God through his Word more clearly and to love God more deeply.

The curricula available on this website has been produced by and used in the context of Bethlehem Baptist Church and its educational ministry, The Bethlehem Institute. Each course has been developed to educate Christians in the context of the local church, melding both head and heart, so that they see and savor Jesus Christ more dearly.

Our Series—Your Church

Currently, BCS Press publishes our curricula in four series: the Foundation Series, Pillar Series, Public Square Series, and Biblical Womanhood. The series do not need to be studied in a particular order; however, they are designed to flow outward from the foundations of the Christian faith, to pillars of deeper theology, to the public square.

Each of our courses is written in two forms: an Instructor’s Guide and a Student’s Workbook. The Instructor’s Guide provides all of the material an instructor would need to administer and teach the course. The curriculum doesn’t require that instructors have prior experience in teaching or formal theological training. It is necessary for each participant in the course to obtain a Student’s Workbook. Our Biblical Womanhood curriculum includes a Teacher Guide, Discussion Leader Guide, and a Student Guide.
