ABOUT PRECEPT MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL
Precept Ministries International was raised up by God for the sole purpose of establishing people in God's Word to produce reverence for Him. It serves as an arm of the church without respect to denomination. God has enabled Precept to reach across denominational lines without compromising the truths of His inerrant Word. We believe every word of the Bible was inspired and given to man as all that is necessary for him to become mature and thoroughly equipped for every good work of life. This ministry does not seek to impose its doctrines on others, but rather to direct people to the Master Himself, who leads and guides by His Spirit into all truth through a systematic study of His Word.

Jack and Kay Arthur founded Precept Ministries International in 1970. Precept achieves its mission of establishing people in God's Word by training millions of men, women, teens and children around the world to discover Truth for themselves using the Precept™ Inductive Bible Study Method. Kay and staff writers produce Bible studies that meet a broad variety of needs for the Church, Bible study groups, disciple-making and individual study. The Ministry hosts Bible training workshops, Biblical tours and conferences. Precept ministers in approximately 70 languages and 150 countries.
