Please note that we have had to change the date for this seminar from 23rd February to 2nd March.

Our Principal’s popular seminar is being held at Bellshill Baptist Church, North Lanarkshire, on Saturday 2nd March 2019.
The Bible in a Day seminar, written and presented by EBC’s Principal, Rev John Brand, has been well received in a number of churches in the UK.

The seminar is designed to give you a good grasp of the whole Bible, identifying the unifying theme of the Scriptures and seeing how all the various parts interconnect.  It is interactive, with lots of opportunity for questions and discussion, and full notes and a folder are supplied to all who attend.  You can find out more about the Bible in a Day seminar here, at the designated website.

John will be presenting the seminar on Saturday 2nd March at Bellshill Baptist Church, Neilson Street, BELLSHILL, North Lanarkshire  ML4 1RD
