Our Story
About ATG Studies
Rooted in 45 years of pastoral ministry. Committed to helping believers grow deeper, live transformed.
Our Mission
Awakened to God. Grounded in Truth.
ATG Studies exists to equip followers of Jesus Christ with practical, biblically-grounded teaching that transforms everyday life. Through video classes and companion workbooks, we bring decades of pastoral wisdom directly to you — wherever you are in your journey.
The name ATG comes from 2 Timothy 2:15 — "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth." Every class is built on that foundation.

Soul Care
We believe healing and growth happen together — spirit, soul, and body.
Relational Ministry
Developed through 45 years of pastoral ministry alongside real families.
Practical Application
