Reaching Every Age
Releasing a Children’s Curriculum
The church’s calling to make disciples includes passing down the Christian faith to the next generation. This year, your generosity has enabled the release of Ligonier’s new Bible curriculum for teaching elementary-age students.
Growing in God’s Word helps teachers and parents guide children through an overview of the Bible in 52 lessons. Choose from three learning levels ranging from kindergarten to fifth grade to find the same Bible teaching with age-appropriate depth. A Presbyterian & Reformed Edition and a Baptist Edition are available to serve churches in several denominations.
Available at GrowingInGodsWord.org, this new resource furthers Dr. Sproul’s vision for teaching the timeless truth of the Christian faith in an accessible way. With your continuing support, we’re translating the curriculum into Spanish, with a Chinese edition also planned. Thank you for assisting teachers to lead the next generation confidently through God’s Word.

Readying Students to Stand Firm
Ligonier’s popular Always Ready youth conferences spread to new cities in America and Canada this year, equipping teenagers to defend their Christian faith.
Each of these events draws hundreds of young disciples seeking trusted answers from the pages of Scripture as they face questions about gender, sexuality, and AI. While identity anxiety threatens entire generations, students are finding something greater than the world’s confusion: real purpose, belonging, and freedom in Christ.
Always Ready conferences in 2025 have included:
- Phoenix, Arizona
- Calgary, Alberta (Canada)
- Portland, Maine
- Sanford, Florida
- Lancaster, Pennsylvania
Thanks to your support, we’re making an ambitious goal to serve 15,000 students over the next three years at Always Ready events. This involves taking youth conferences overseas next year as we seek to raise up the next generation of disciples who will stand firm for their faith in Christ.
Training the Next Generation of Disciples
This spring, Reformation Bible College had its largest-ever graduating class. With a firm foundation in God’s Word, new alumni are launching into their callings with conviction. Your generous contribution is serving men and women in this formative season of life so they can be prepared for a lifetime of faithful service.
Two hundred students are on campus this fall to begin RBC’s 15th academic year. This milestone encapsulates Dr. Sproul’s vision for RBC as a purposefully small college where focused discipleship in the classical Reformed tradition produces well-formed Christians to the glory of God.
Extending theological education beyond the Central Florida campus, Reformation Bible College has launched its first remote program within a correctional facility in Alabama. In God’s great kindness and thanks to your support, 14 students are beginning the 4-year bachelor’s degree program, grounding their minds in Scripture to serve Christ within the prison walls.
Reaching Every Stage
Exposing the Need for Faithful Teaching
Even as God blesses Ligonier’s discipleship outreach, the shocking 2025 results from our State of Theology survey reveal that we have much more work to do. Many in the church are confused about the central teachings of Scripture.
Among American evangelicals polled:
- 64% believe that “Everyone is born innocent in the eyes of God.”
- 53% think that “The Holy Spirit is a force but is not a personal being.”
- 47% affirm that “God accepts the worship of all religions, including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.”
The complete results are available at TheStateOfTheology.com. Yet doctrinal decline is not inevitable. We pray this survey will help Christians identify where they are drifting, encourage pastors to teach essential truths, and warn the church against subtle theological errors.
Thanks to your continuing support, we’ve recently fielded The State of Theology survey throughout Canada. We plan to release the Canadian results soon and bring the survey back to the United Kingdom.

Multiplying Ministry with App Enhancements
By God’s grace, Ligonier is currently reaching 100 million people each year with faithful Christian teaching. Many are accessing biblical truth every day on Ligonier’s online apps and platforms. To better serve listeners, this October you enabled upgrades to the RefNet internet radio.
New RefNet features include:
- A redesigned interface that enhances user experience.
- Time traveling gives listeners access to previously aired episodes.
- Bookmarking lets users save programs and listen to them later.
- An expanded content library with new music and original artwork.
But what would it take to bring Ligonier’s trusted Bible teaching to 200 million people? Doubling our discipleship outreach in the years to come will require scalable tools, and your ongoing support is helping to build a new and enhanced Ligonier app. This tool will be simple, steady, and smart for a global generation.
The new Ligonier app will include:
- An integrated Bible with audio will feature notes from the Reformation Study Bible.
- Users will have a personalized experience for study and sharing teaching with others.
- Customized daily study plans will help each user grow in their Christian faith.
- A powerful answer assistant will lead to trusted answers from Ligonier’s library for biblical and theological questions.
This strategic transformation of the free Ligonier app will make discipleship resources even more accessible as part of Ligonier’s aim to equip students in every stage of the Christian life. We look forward to unveiling these additional features in the years to come.
Spreading Hope to Prison Inmates
The call to make disciples sends Christians into dark places with the hope of the gospel. And in few places is hope more needed than prison. Ligonier witnesses this need through the hundreds of letters we receive each month from correctional facility inmates desperate for the light of God’s truth.
Over the past year, Ligonier has stepped into an unprecedented opportunity to reach more than a million inmates through Edovo, a tablet-based educational program. We’ve loaded up video teaching series onto this platform to make God’s truth accessible to learners in more than 1,200 prison facilities and most U.S. states.
We also recently celebrated the first graduates from our Ligonier Inside program at a correctional facility. More than a dozen inmates committed to focused studies with Ligonier’s teaching series to lay a biblical foundation for the future. Thank you for helping men and women rebuild their lives on the unshakable hope of Christ and His Word.

Reaching Every Nation
Sending Study Bibles Worldwide
Discipleship is more than a generational task—it’s also a global task. Yet pastors around the world lack theological training to teach God’s people well.
Your support has given Ligonier the confidence to expand distribution of the Reformation Study Bible to under-resourced church leaders everywhere. The Study Bibles for the World campaign aims to equip 500,000 pastors in the next ten years. Visit StudyBiblesForTheWorld.org to see how this worldwide initiative is gaining momentum to help shape the future of the global church.
Today, the Reformation Study Bible is available in six languages. Six more translation projects are underway, including Arabic, Chinese, Russian, and Ukrainian. Imagine the impact as pastors on every continent, speaking these languages and more, become better established in the truth of Scripture and Reformed theology. This is the movement you support through Study Bibles for the World.

Teaching in the Top 20 Languages
Dr. Sproul mapped out a vision for Ligonier to spread clear theological teaching to the nations. In 2025, this ministry now provides discipleship resources in more than 60 languages. This includes more than 6,300 articles, 500 books, and 160 dubbed video teaching series, representing thousands of hours of in-depth instruction.
Before the end of 2025, Ligonier is also on course to begin sustained ministry in the twenty most-spoken languages. With your continuing support, we are starting to release weekly or daily teaching in the remaining four major languages.
The four dedicated-language outreaches launching in 2025:
- Vietnamese, spoken in Southeast Asia
- Swahili, widespread throughout East Africa
- Marathi, a primary language in India
- Hausa, commonly used in West Africa
Increasing Global Outreach
Establishing dedicated ministry in the top twenty languages is only the beginning. Lord willing, we’re committed to expanding Ligonier’s discipleship library with more translations for decades to come.
You’ve helped lay the groundwork this year by unlocking free Spanish courses on Conexión Ligonier, releasing our first Japanese teaching series, taking Renewing Your Mind Live events to Australia, and holding Ligonier’s first conference in Southeast Asia. Your continued support will open the doors for even more international events for the strengthening of the global church.
By God’s grace, the future of this ministry is bright. With eyes set on taking the truth to the end of the earth (Acts 1:8), we stand shoulder to shoulder with prayerful supporters like you in the glorious work of discipleship. Thank you for sharing and furthering Dr. Sproul’s vision for a worldwide awakening to the holiness of God.
