Church History Minute notes

This is a compilation of my "Church History Minute" talks. I try to update this when I teach my Sunday School class or when I use this in another forum, such as for a devotional. Some of the early blogs are written more as notes for myself to speak to. I tried to get more narrative as time went on. I would be grateful for feedback in general or on specific posts. If this is useful to you, please feel free to use this material for your own purposes to the glory of God.

About Me

Bill H
I am an adult Sunday School teacher in a Southern Baptist church in Virginia, USA. I believe there is a general lack of knowledge of the Scriptures and about those faithful saints who have walked the Christian faith before us. This little site is meant to help me as I teach the latter. I hope it is an aid to you as well.
