For the best educational experience, course readings should be paired with lesson readings. As with all courses at MDHI, the online version of How to Study the Bible can be a stand-alone class or can augment the in-person version. Most in-person classes are given from 1830-1930 (6:30 to 7:30 PM) on Wednesday nights at Memorial Baptist Church (MBC) in Beckley, WV. Dozens of students have taken the in-person version of many classes at MDHI.
