INTRODUCTION

The Christ In Me Baptist Christian Center hosts Wednesday night Bible study every week. The problem is that attendance on Wednesday Night Bible Study at The Christ in Me Baptist Christian Center is at an all-time low. Out of the 500 members that are active members in the church, approximately 10% of those members actually attend bible study; however, it is a known fact that when there is a feeding at the church or when it’s Easter or Christmas, attendance consists of 50% or more attending; the house of the Lord is filled to capacity. The Pastor of the church and the active members who attend Bible study faithfully are taken back by the poor attendance. The church as a whole is affected by the problem. The goal in Bible study is applying what you have learned in class to your personal life daily. Each week one should try to discover a truth or principle that God can use in his or her lives. Let what you learn in your class be a vital part of your developing, maturing Christian life. Further, try to see how we can help others apply them to their lives. With that being said, if the members are not attending Bible study, the Pastor feels that his sheep are not meeting their goals in their daily walk of faith; they are missing the substance that is being taught every Wednesday night. If a member is not helping him or herself by getting the word and knowledge, how can he or she evangelize to someone else outside the walls of the church? The Christ In Me Church was established in 2007 with three people, Pastor Lonnie Orr, Erica Orr and Minister Orlando Chandler. The church has experienced rapid growth and now has a membership of over 500 members. The Lord has also allowed the church to save and baptize over 300 souls. Although many have come thru the ministry, some were only meant to be touched and released. Eight different Ministers have come from under Christ In Me or have been sent to Christ In Me to fulfill Gods call on their life. These Ministers are: Pastor Eugene Leonard, Pastor Leonard Shackleford, Minister Debbie Ford, Minister Cordell Ford, Minister Wendy Porter,
