In the mid-nineteen seventies many congregations of the churches of Christ participated in an evangelistic program commonly referred to as the "Joy Bus" ministry. At about that same time many Bible school teaches were also beginning to use the learning center concept in their classrooms. The materials provided through thegarretthouse.org and biblelearningcenters.org grew from those ministries. Bettye Garrett developed a Bible Learning Center program called "The Bible By Levels" in response to a need to effectively teach "un-churched" children in the same classroom with longtime Bible students. Many of the Bible Learning Centers which were set up in the 1970s and 1980 are still in use today in congregations all over America. |
