About BTC History + FAQs
BTC Online Library History
"Becoming the Church Online Library" is the name of Ann M. Wolf’s spiritual resource center (this website), which provides support and inspiration to members of the Body of Christ around the world in the form of Bible Lessons, Christian Music, Videos, Commentary, Broadcasts and more.
Website History & New Site Name: Originally referred to as "Message of the Lighthouse Library" (MOTL), the concept behind that former title was a reminder to keep our eyes on the Lighthouse (God) above the storms of life, a practice which will guide us through even the most difficult of challenges as we grow and are changed by His Spirit, from Glory to Glory.
BTC New Branding But Same Inspiring Content: Going forward, the branding for this website has consolidated to "Becoming the Church," (BTC) to bring much needed, common-sense, practical biblical support to individual seekers as well as spiritual leaders across the world. Rest assured that the same lessons that readers have enjoyed for the past number of years have remained here at BTC Online Library for both "Sozo Bible Studies" and the “Becoming the Church (BTC) Study Experience.”
