Welcome to Lakefield Ministries!

We are excited to introduce the Master the Basics program and study tools. They are designed
to help anyone learn to study the Bible with confidence and apply God’s Word to their daily
lives.

Learn to study the Bible for yourself

Master the Basics was written with the “seeker” in mind, not the scholar. The program is
designed as a “user’s manual” rather than a scholarly work. When you have completed the
studies and the lessons, you will be equipped to start tackling any area of the Bible that
interests you. You will complete a book study, a verse analysis, a character study, a topical
study, and a question and answer study. You will also go through a handful of short mini-
lessons that will give you a historical background of the Bible – who wrote it, when it was
written, how it was written, and how it was put together. You will also be introduced to basic
principles of Bible translation, interpretation, and application.

Designed for busy people

Whether you are a business executive that travels regularly or a parent just trying to manage a busy family schedule, you can learn to study the Bible. You can download the study tools from this website and get support by phone, email or text. Everything is free of charge. Our only goal is for you to see what studying the Bible can do for you. We believe that your impact on the world will be a blessing enough!

Equip your small group

If you are more experienced in studying the Bible but you have been looking for a simple
scalable process and a set of tools you can use to support your small group or start a group of your own in your church or community, Master the Basics may be what you have been looking
for. Study guides, simple worksheets, and leader notes are easy to download from the Master
the Basics resource page. You can also download the presentations used for the mini-lessons.

Getting started is easy

If you are interested in learning to study the Bible or looking for a way to equip your small
group, give us a call or contact us by email. One of our volunteers will help you get started and be available to support you as you go through the program.

Equip your leadership team

We provide leadership training for campus ministries, fellowship groups, and small group
leaders in local churches.
