Dear Pastor,
When I was a pastor in Chicago, I wanted to provide our people with teaching that would prepare them to articulate what—and why—we believe. Like my other pastor friends, I found myself overworked and understaffed. I loved the work of ministry, but it didn't exactly leave me much time left over to create original evangelism and apologetics materials! Can you relate?
Today, this is the purpose of The Think Institute. We partner with churches like yours to help you equip your congregation to explain, share and defend their faith.
We help Christians:
Gain clarity about the biblical worldview.
Grow confident in their ability to share and defend it.
Get connected with others to share ideas and interests.
As a pastor, your job is to "equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ" (Ephesians 4:12). You are committed to doing this, and we can help you do it well.
Please keep reading to learn about us and what we can offer.
Get to know the Think Institute’s leadership here.
