Discover the richness of the Scriptures

Two separate seminars — Old Testament & New Testament — each a complete journey on its own.

Through visuals, hand signs, repetition, listening, writing, group review, and catchy phrases, we make learning both fun and effective — an interactive, non-threatening, and highly creative way to learn, ensuring you feel engaged and comfortable throughout.

Trace the steps of Jesus
Start with the 400 years of silence — a period marked by dramatic changes, setting the stage for Christ’s arrival. In Walk Thru the New Testament, you’ll trace the steps of Jesus, witness the birth and growth of the early church, and follow the Apostle Paul’s missions. This seminar is not just informative but an enjoyable adventure.
You’ll learn to arrange 77 key people, places, and events of the New Testament in chronological order, understand the life of Christ in sequence, discover how the four Gospels complement each other, and tie the New Testament’s structure together into a complete whole. The 27 books will come alive, building a solid foundation for your biblical understanding — and you’ll leave with a renewed eagerness to open God’s Word every day.

What are the benefits of attending a WTB seminar?
You will gain a basic understanding of the chronological timeline of events of the testament. You will become more acquainted with the primary people. You will better understand the geographical movements mentioned in the Bible. You will learn redemptive themes and threads which trace the Biblical story. You will be given practical and engaging tools — including a workbook with visual aids — designed to enhance and reinforce the learning experience, as well as serve as a valuable resource for future reference. You will better understand God’s heart and intention for the people He created. And you will be inspired to continue to read and study the Bible!
Is prior Bible knowledge required to attend a WTB seminar?
No prior Bible knowledge is necessary. WTB seminars are designed to accommodate individuals at all levels of familiarity with the Scriptures, making them accessible and beneficial for both newcomers and seasoned readers.
How much does a WTB seminar cost?
Every attendee is required to purchase a workbook for $10 each. At the end of the seminar, an offering will be taken for Get the Word Out.
How long are WTB Old Testament and New Testament seminars?
The seminar for each testament usually takes approximately 6 hours of teaching time, plus 2 short breaks and one longer meal break; plan for 7 hours total. However, a variety of formats are available.
What ages may attend?
Middle school and older. Younger ones may attend and sit with parents if they have quiet, hands-on activities to occupy them. (Childcare may or may not be available, depending on the host.)
How can participants retain the information learned during the seminar?
Our approach integrates multiple learning styles simultaneously: auditory, visual, movement, interaction, strategic repetition, and more. This variety reinforces memory retention, enabling participants to recall the major themes and events of the Bible long after the seminar concludes.
What are the steps for my church to host a WTB seminar?
Contact Mary Jean here to discuss dates, times, and format possibilities. Reserve a venue equipped with a laptop connection and screen for PowerPoint — it’s best to have tables, but not necessary. Advertise well in advance to anyone from middle school age and older, and invite other churches and groups; encourage families to attend together! Set up a registration process and a $10 workbook fee as a deposit guaranteeing a spot at the seminar. A minimum of 20 people must register to attend (15 if the venue is in Northern Colorado).
