CTC Churches Offered the Opportunity to Beta Test a Brand New Disciple Bible Study
by Bishop Richard Wilke, Retired
Since 1987, Disciple Bible Study has reached nearly 3 million people worldwide, introducing the grand sweep of Scripture in a 34-week format. Now Disciple Fast Track maintains the integrity and principles of the original study, but its modifications can better meet the needs of a hectic world. Participants still receive a thorough introduction to the Bible, but in almost a third less time. Fast Track is not a replacement for the original; it is simply a practical option.
Disciple Fast Track uses the same Disciple Study Manual, but the class time and course length have all been adjusted for busy lifestyles. New print and video materials, which are extremely easy to use, give participants the tools to absorb and retain what they learn in this shortened format.
Main features of Disciple Fast Track:
-
Classes meet for a total of 24 weeks
-
Each group session lasts 75 minutes
-
Designed for Small Groups and Large Groups
-
A new, user-friendly Leader Guide
-
24 new weekly Illustrated Review Videos
-
24 new Introductory Videos

Illustrated Review Flash Cards
-
Leader Online Training and Online Community

Disciple Fast Track is being developed by Bishop Richard Wilke (author of the Disciple Bible Study Manuals) and Susan Fuquay, Christian Educator, with the permission and endorsement of the United Methodist Publishing House, the publisher of Disciple Bible Study.
In this final year of development, we are looking for 30 churches from each Annual Conference to join us in beta testing. We need you. Three hundred and fifty churches participated last year with over 5,000 participants. These churches reported a surge of people who signed up to learn the basic story of the Bible, Genesis to Revelation, but in a shorter time frame! Participants experienced spiritual growth and spiritual renewal.
