Bible Study

 Through the words of the Old Testament and New Testament scriptures, God’s Spirit confronts us, reminding us of who we are and how much God loves us.  We see ourselves in the stories contained in the Bible and realize that although the times have changed and the cultural settings are very different people are still the same.  We still act out of self-interest, we still refuse to recognize boundaries for living God has established and we still find ourselves with messed up lives and relationships.  But, more importantly, we are still people for whom God cares, people with whom God interacts, and people with whom God wants to have a life-long, living relationship.  Through studying the Bible in community with God’s Spirit guiding us, we discover God’s will for our lives and how we can live in harmonious relationships with God and each other.  It isn’t always easy to understand, but together we do better than trying it on our own.

 For adults, we study the Bible during Sunday School (9:45 – 10:45 am) and during short and long-term studies offered during other times during the week.  The following is a list of Adult Sunday School classes:
