Intensive is a Saturday workshop that invites you to learn and practice Bible Study tools. Throughout the day, you’ll use your new skills to study a passage of Scripture, in-depth. It is our hope and prayer that you will leave with three things:

1. A greater confidence in your ability to understand, interpret, and apply God’s Word in your personal study

2. Growth in your ability to study Scripture in a way that is faithful to the meaning and intent of the original author

3. A deep understanding of the workshop scripture passage

Women ages 14 and up who want to grow in their love and understanding of Scripture, or simply spend a day studying God's word with like-minded women. Bring a friend, or make it a special women's event for your church!

Nine Bible study tools will be covered throughout the day -- seven in interactive workshops, and two as part of opening and closing keynotes — in a total of eight 30-minute sessions. Each session will be taught by lay women with previous experience leading and teaching with our ministry and in throughout the Dayton area.

Tools that will be covered include: Context, Outlining, Cross Referencing, Comparing Translations, Paraphrasing, Responding to the Text, Word Study, Annotation, and Commentary.

As you learn each tool, you will practice using them to do an in-depth study of the scripture text.

A workbook will be provided that includes a double-spaced copy of the scripture passage for easy annotating, as well as worksheets tailored to each learning session.

Registration opens on May 24th. This will be a ticketed event with limited seats available.

Registration is $35.

Registration includes workshop materials and a boxed lunch. Proceeds will support the ongoing ministry of DWITW.
