For some time now, denominational and other curriculum publishers have been distributing titles online rather than in print. The Thoughtful Christian just celebrated its 2nd birthday and continues to offer studies for adults and youth on a variety of topics. NextSunday, offered by independent publisher Smyth & Helwys, also offers downloadable studies as well as worship resources.
At the recent APCE conference I attended, we were given information about the June 2009 launch date of a new online subscription resource for leaders in the Presbyterian church. Offering studies for church officers, the online Presbyterian Worship Planner, and essays and studies related to church tasks and issues, The Presbyterian Leader promises to be a useful tool for church leaders. (There are samples of some of the studies on the site now.) Combined with the free Opening Doors to Discipleship which offers three excellent studies on teaching skills, Bible background and Presbyterian/Reformed Faith, the PC(USA) is now offering some long-needed leadership training materials for congregational use.
We have a resource center subscription that will allow you to see the studies at the paid subscription sites, but those materials must be viewed in the IRC. Come by and we'll be glad to show you these excellent resources.
