Precept Ministries International
Evangelism & teaching · Founded 1970 · by Kay Arthur and Jack Arthur · Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA
Precept Ministries International is a Christian Bible study organization founded in 1970 by Kay Arthur and her husband Jack Arthur. Its mission is to establish people in God's word so they can discover the truth of Scripture for themselves. It is known for the inductive Bible study method, which teaches readers to observe the text, interpret its meaning, and apply it to life.
What they do
Precept Ministries develops inductive Bible study courses that guide people to examine Scripture closely, asking what the text says, what it means, and how it applies. Its studies cover books of the Bible and topics for learners at every level.
The ministry trains leaders and teachers to guide small groups, equipping churches to open the Bible together. It produces workbooks, teaching videos, and study tools that support this hands-on approach.
Through translations and international training, Precept carries its study method to many countries, helping believers around the world learn to handle the word of God for themselves.
The Scripture behind the work
Where the door leads
Precept Ministries leads people to Jesus Christ by teaching them to read Scripture carefully, where they meet him on the page. Its inductive method builds a lasting habit of hearing God's voice in his word. A good next step is to try an inductive study or download a free tool at precept.org and study a passage yourself.
Connect to the real thing
The Living Bread is a door, not the destination. The life is with Christ and his people.
