Catalyst Bible Studies
At LCC our Catalyst Bible Studies are intended to you learn God's Word in order to more faithfully live His Way. The word "catalyst" refers to that which starts something else. God never intended for us to only grow to learn more about Him, but as we do to live more like He intends. Our Catalyst Bible Studies aim to do this.
With our addition of Rightnow Media as a church, leading a Catalyst Bible Study has never been more accessible. If you think that you might want to lead a Catalyst Bible Study please reach out to kurt@lebanonchristian.org or craig@lebanonchristian.org as we will schedule training with you. All teachers and facilitators are required to be members of Lebanon Christian Church, exhibit the fruits of a growing relationship with Jesus, and have completed our Teacher Training.
Catalyst Bible Studies can take place anytime during the week. On Sunday mornings we have the benefit of offering age-appropriate worship environments for children and students. But you can lead a study anytime throughout the week onsite or offsite as long as you fulfill the criteria above.
