BIBLE STUDY NEWS

New Adult Classes - The following adult classes are offered Sunday mornings at 9:30 am.

 

*The Christian in the World (taught by Tony Stiff) Christianity is not simply a belief system; it is a way to live. It is the grid through which we view all of life. All of life falls under the control of Jesus Christ, even things like politics, the environment, and the economy. This class will focus on what it means to have a Christian worldview.

 

*1 John: Light, Love, and Life in Christ (taught by Bill Letchworth) The book of 1 John is a tender letter, written to those he called his children to warn them of heresy and sin and remind them of the love of God. It is a practical book of the Bible and one of the best-loved by Christians.
