Our Mission
Engage people in relationship with God through knowing His Word
Bible Study Leaders are trained and equipped to lead small, discussion-based groups. Leaders ask questions to guide their group through God's Word, allowing each person to discover God's truth for themselves, but not by themselves.
Our Vision
Every believer in Christ living out God's Word every day.
Life-changing intimacy with God is the heart of Precept. We equip small group Bible Study Leaders who can help you discover the truth of Scripture for yourself, but not by yourself.
KNOW GOD DEEPLY. LIVE DIFFERENTLY.
Our Ethos
Scripture guides you toward God.
Precept guides you through Scripture.
We help lead and direct, but we know that the true changing power—personal relationship with God—comes not from following Precept, but from Scripture itself.
Our Doctrinal Statement
01 | The Scriptures
We believe (a) in the plenary verbal inspiration of the Word of God, and (b) that both the Old and New Testaments are inerrant in the original writings and are the supreme and final authority for faith and life.
02 | The Godhead
We believe the Godhead exists in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three Persons are one God having precisely the same nature, attributes, and perfections.
03 | The Lord Jesus Christ
We believe in (a) His eternal existence as God, (b) His Incarnation and Virgin Birth, (c) His death on the cross as the substitutionary atonement for sin, (d) His literal, bodily resurrection from the dead, (e) His present ministry of intercession in heaven, and (f) His personal, future return to earth.
