Lutheran Church Charities Bible Study (LCC)
Instructor - Tim Hetzner
​
FOLLOW THE COMPASSION - An In-Depth Study of Jesus and the First Three Centuries of the Early Church 
This study will look at the early Christian Church, from Jesus dying on the Cross and rising from the dead to His Ascension. It will follow the growth of the early church, with the conversion of Constantine the Great as he began to build church buildings. The first three centuries of the early Christian Church had some of the most explosive growth in history as they lived out their relationship with Jesus Christ – even in the midst of some of the worst persecution of Christians in world history.

Meet in Krueger Hall or via Zoom on Mondays @9:30 a.m. or in the class portal available 24/7 at your leisure – including the weekly handouts. 

The 
WORD instructor is Tim Hetzner. Tim has been involved in Parish Ministry as Director of Discipleship for 25 years and served 21 Years as President/CEO of Lutheran Church Charities. Now, he is semi-retired as Ambassador for Spiritual Growth for LCC.  Tim is the author and teacher of an In-Depth Bible Study curriculum called WORD. Tim writes a daily devotion that is sent out nationally by email and also has led Biblical Study tours to the Middle East for the past 30 years.
