Here’s another great Bible lesson series from Brett Hetherington. Brett contributes so many great resources here that I think he deserves a prize of some kind. At the very least he deserves a great big hug from every youth worker who’s ever used his materials. Visit his site and let him know how much you appreciate his generosity in equipping your ministry with great resources time and time again.
Description:
The What is the Church Series is a 3-part Bible Study that aims to celebrate the local church as an institution laid down by God to aid us as disciples. It is broken into a exploring a brief overview of church history down through the ages, the church in its modern state (denominations, creeds, etc.) and why exactly God laid down the church as an institution for us to aspire to.
This study includes:
- Lesson outlines in Word formats
- Lesson outlines in Adobe formats

Hey Tim,
Its a great study. So many students I meet just dont see the reason to become an actual part of the body. I can understand as the church largely has lost the close fellowship and accountability it started with. When I tried to look at the the third page though, it just says Why Church?
