Participants are encouraged to get spiritual nourishment First Hand!”  – Pastor Dale,  Battle Creek, MI

“I would highly recommend you attend at least one of Pastor Rick’s First Hand Truth seminars. As a former Sunday school student of his, I know that meeting with Pastor Rick means you will be learning practical Bible study methods that you can use to grow in your relationship with Christ. It is well worth your time!” – Miriam, Battle Creek, MI

“Reinvigorating!  Rick’s message is that each of us NEED to study the Bible for ourselves, and each of us CAN!  We have the Holy Spirit within us and a lot of tools at our disposal.  Come to this seminar and learn something new and get excited to practice.”  – John, Battle Creek, MI

“My wife and I both benefited greatly from attending the seminar.  While we have studied the Bible for many years, this was a helpful reset to get refocused and evaluate new tools/ideas to study and enhance our understanding of the Psalms and scripture as a whole.  Thank you for your clear, solid efforts to make a quality seminar.”  – Tim and Stephanie, Battle Creek, MI

“Very excited about this!” – Heather, Battle Creek, MI
