Our Weekly Study

Studying Scripture helps add to our faith knowledge, understanding, and helps to deepen our relationship as followers of Christ since Jesus can be found all throughout scripture. Scripture is our guide to live our lives as Jesus did and the practice of reading, taking in, and wrestling with scripture helps to shape us more into being like Christ. Each week we create a bible study to be used for personal study, a family devotional, or in a group of neighbors. We believe that studying scripture in community can bring it to life in completely new ways so we also gather in a Sunday Morning Bible Study at 9:30am that discusses the previous week's study in order to provide a place for questions to be wrestled with and new insight gleaned from community.
