BIBLE MUSEUM - a collection of over 6,000 Bible manuscripts in over 625 languages and dialects and fascinating artifacts.  It features a 20-minute video presentation on the history of the English Bible.  The Bible Museum is open every day except Sunday, 9:00am until 5:00pm.   On days of Play performances, the Museum is open until 8:00pm (7:00pm after Labor Day).

HISTORY MUSEUM - ​This Cultural and Biblical History Museum provides a brief snapshot of the history of creation and mankind and how the Bible fits into that as well as providing evidences (apologetics) for God's existence as well as why Christian theism and the Bible provide the most logical and plausible worldview of existence. This museum is done in partnership with James and Gina Stroud.

GOD WITH US: NEW TESTAMENT (MOVIE) (Postponed until Refurbishment of Jerusalem Chapel is complete): As the Emperor of Rome persecutes the Christians, Peter and his followers are arrested and await execution. Armed only with his memories, Peter will fight his greatest battle to protect his flock as he keeps the words of God alive in them. 
God with Us combines live musical drama with film on stage. This makes a unique experience of a timeless story. Filmed in part on the grounds of The Great Passion Play and Holy Land Tour in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. 

GIFT SHOPS – An incredible selection of souvenirs, keepsakes, books, DVDs, resources, and other items.

PARABLES FROM THE POTTER - A 20-minute presentation by our potter, Joe Smith.  He actually forms a pottery vessel on the potter’s wheel and at the same time shares how God, the Master Potter, molds and shapes our lives.

DAVID THE SHEPHERD - A 20-minute presentation by our shepherd, Kent Butler.  David the Shepherd tells stories about Jesus, the Good Shepherd and also gives a hands-on demonstration with his shepherd sling.

​THE SCULPTOR - Each evening before The Great Passion Play performance, the Sculptor, Bob Willis, forms a bust of Christ in clay while sharing his testimony. (Because of family health issues, Bob is currently on hiatus from performing.)
