Study

Grow deeper in faith through study. See below for upcoming classes and Bible studies.

Take a Deeper Dive into Faith

The dates for the next Bible 101 class are TBD.

We are a Bible church, but not all of us in this church have the same knowledge, understanding, or interpretation of the Bible.

Using the book, "Making Sense of the Bible," by Adam Hamilton, we will engage on the history of Scripture, the context of the Old and New Testaments, the authority of Scripture in our lives and various ways to interpret. Then, we will begin to discuss topics such as violence, suffering, science, sexuality, tattoos, and end times with our various understandings of scripture. In this class we seek to hear and understand one another and not defend or explain our own understandings.
