Bible Studies & Small Groups
Christians grow best when they worship together, grow through study and small groups and serve amongst our neighbors. We encourage you to look through this list of small groups and studies and get involved. If you’re already active in worship, let’s take the next step and grow together.
Most of our Bible studies and small groups run for about six weeks in either the fall or spring. Sunday School classes for all ages meet every Sunday at 9:40 a.m. We also encourage everyone to "band together" and become part of a small group. Groups can be as small as three people, and you can meet in person or electronically. Learn more about banding together
IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT
Led by Keith Keeton
Sundays, 5:30 p.m. - Beginning February 15
Room 315
It’s the last book of the Bible, but it's often one of the most confusing and avoided. In fact, it almost didn’t make it in the Bible at all. It’s time we take a deeper look at this apocalyptic literature. What does it have to do with us today? What does God have to say to a suffering community? What might a new world look like?
John’s Revelation depicts the plight of early Christian communities suffering persecution in Asia Minor. We’ll explore ideas of faithfulness, hardship, community, hope and desperation. Hopefully, you’ll gain a better understanding of this important biblical addition.
Join us beginning February 15 at 5:30 p.m. for a 4-6 week study as we ask what the book of Revelation might be trying to tell us.
WE ARE THE CHURCH... LET'S ACT LIKE IT: A STUDY IN THE BOOK OF ACTS
Led by Susan Eaton
Mondays, 10 a.m. - March 9-30
Room 303
In this study, we'll take a closer look at the early Church and learn from its example. The people mentioned in Acts were the first followers of Christ, and their story was the beginning of the work of the Holy Spirit in the Church as we know it. How did these early churches get it right, and where did they stumble? What can we learn from their experiences of bringing the gospel into the world that might help us be better disciples in our world today?
Cost for the book is $10.
