Pastor Dick Woodward
The Mini Bible College (MBC), a systematic Bible curriculum, is primarily distributed through the work of International Cooperating Ministries (ICM). Developed by Pastor Dick Woodward, MBC consists of more than 215 individual audio lessons, supported by printed booklets. The teachings include an entire survey of the Old and New Testaments, and in-depth studies of the Sermon on the Mount and Marriage and Family. Dick Woodward served as senior pastor of the Virginia Beach Community Chapel, in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Williamsburg Community Chapel in Williamsburg, VA. In 1982, when Pastor Woodward was diagnosed with a rare degenerative disease of the spinal cord, he began creating MBC. In the early 1990’s, when he was no longer able to actively pastor, Pastor Woodward became the Pastor Emeritus of Williamsburg Community Chapel. However, being a quadriplegic did not stop the work of God through the life of Pastor Woodward. He continued to write (via voice-activated computer software), mentor, blog, and minister to many people for the next 20 years until God saw fit to call him “home” on March 8, 2014. His latest book, Marketplace Disciples, was published in December 2013.
