Ministries
Below is a comprehensive list of the ministries offered by In-Depth Studies Canada.
- Online Bible Study
IDS Canada sponsors an online discipleship program. This is for those who want some serious study in the Scriptures. We have designed this site for disciples to move at their own individual pace and time schedule. If you are interested in taking part, contact Murray, as you must be registered to log in to interact and make comments. We also have our blog on this site!

- Evenings of Theology
The purpose of these meetings is to encourage, build-up, and stir-up a zeal in the Body of Christ as a whole for the Lord Jesus Christ and the so-great salvation found in Him alone! Our desire is that Christians would be stirred to love and good works through the amazing truth of the Scriptures, and that, as a result, they would spread a passion for the glory and supremacy of God in all things for the joy and satisfaction of all peoples - in their churches, their communities, and beyond.Each study provides a study of Scripture in a relaxed atmosphere that encourages questions and interaction in a loving environment. You do not have to sign up for these studies, you just have to show up.Current Schedule
- Open Forums
An Open Forum is a theological forum that is centered around any biblical topic the host chooses. There is plenty of time for interaction and the atmosphere is one of casual give-and-take where discussion is encouraged. These are normally done in a home, but can take place at any location - even online using “Pal Talk!” Typically an open forum is a small group which allows for much active participation and interaction, as well as relationship building. It is our belief that effective teaching occurs when gifted teachers are combined with the priesthood of all believers, for the edification of one another that we might be eternally happy in our holy Sovereign God. Our desire is that these studies would better equip us to go out and live lives of worship as Scripture instructs us in Romans 12:1-2. If you would like to schedule an Open Forum, simply email Murray.Schedule an Open Forum
- Leadership Training
One of our goals at IDS Canada is the training up of leaders. To that end we have established a discipleship class which is designed to ground believers (both men and women) to minister the Word of God for the edification of the saints and the evangelism of unbelievers. We also have an intern program to teach, train, and test men in the hands-on environment of a local church, in order to prepare and evaluate them for the possibility of future biblical eldership, either with Grace Fellowship or with another church or ministry (e.g. missions).Contact Murray for more information.
- IDS Seminars
In-Depth Studies Canada typically has one conference per year (usually held in the winter) and two theological seminars per year.
