O Little Town of Bethlehem
Will Varner
As the college and young adult ministry of Grace Community Church, Crossroads exists to make disciples and encourage one another to value Jesus Christ above all else.
We gather to worship through singing and Bible teaching every Sunday at 11 am in the Family Center at Grace Church.
Our individual Bible studies meet on various nights throughout the school year. For more information on these studies, visit the Bible studies page.
After pastoring a church for seven years in Pennsylvania, Will came to The Master’s University in 1996 to teach Old Testament Studies as well as higher divisions of biblical languages. He also has directed the IBEX (Israel Bible Extension) program at TMU and has taken more than fifty trips to the land of Israel. In 1998, Will began serving as a shepherd for the Sojourners fellowship group, where he taught through the Old Testament four times and led five groups from the class to Israel and other European countries.
Dr. Varner earned his M.Div. and Th.M. from the Biblical Theological Seminary. Additionally, he received a master’s degree in Jewish studies from Dropsie College and holds a Doctorate in Education from Temple University. He has authored more than a dozen books, including The Chariot of Israel, Jacob’s Dozen, and Awake O Harp, as well as his recent book, Passionate about the Passion Week. Will and his wife, Helen, have two grown children and one with the Lord, as well as four grandchildren.
