Adult Education Resources
A Bibliography of Video Resources for Adult Education & Family Life Programs
The resources and materials listed below are from a variety of sources, not all Missouri Synod, not all
Lutheran. Many of these video series have been utilized by the Parish Services Executive. They are all
useful and can provide assistance in such ministry areas as Bible studies/adult education, family life,
youth, children’s ministries and parochial education. In some cases it may be necessary to “separate
wheat from chaff,” but those who can rightly divide Law & Gospel should have no problem.

These video resources are listed by title, topic, publishing house, author and with a phone number to
order or find out more information.

Resources are available from the Parish Services Library to be checked out by District congregations
and schools. They may be used free of charge. We just ask that you return them to the District once
you are done with them.

All resources are in VHS format unless noted otherwise.

If you would like more information on any of these resources, or if you would like a copy of this
document mailed to you, feel free to contact the Parish Services office.
