About
We provide user-friendly Bible studies that are practical, helpful, and immediately useful to teachers and students.
Our materials are great for those with limited time, resources, and skills looking for quality biblical studies. We currently have resources available for Adults, College, Youth, Children, Preschool and Teachers. We also have resources available in 7 translations including Simplified English, Spanish, Chinese, Cambodian, Laotian, Vietnamese and Korean.
We believe in the importance of biblical studies reflecting the value of biblical distinctives that have shaped Baptist life and history. We believe in Bible studies that emphasize the idea that all people are created in the image of God and are valuable.
How did we start?
GC2 Press® is the publishing arm of Texas Baptists. Launched in the spring of 2000, the Adult Bible study curriculum was the first age-group material published. All of the Bible studies are undated, produced on a quarterly basis in the format of an attractive paperback book.
Who Are the Writers? Trusted, qualified Baptist writers are selected. They are encouraged to make lesson comments that reflect their beliefs, to make these comments in light of sound Bible study principles, and to write responsibly in light of the needs of churches.
