Come see what happens in people's lives when they discover God through the study of His Word, the Bible. Our class has female and male core groups, meets weekly on Monday afternoon or Wednesday morning or Thursday morning.  We also offer virtual classes through Zoom for those unable to meet with us locally in person. 

 

For 2026-2027, we will be offering two consecutive studies.

 

Weeks 1 thru 6 - James.  The epistle of James is one of the most practical books in the Bible.  This course's lessons encourage each class member to lead a more consistent, caring Christian life and to explore the practical application of faith in family and society.

 

Weeks 7 thru 30 - Genesis 1-22.   

 

Although Genesis is an ancient book, it speaks to some of the biggest questions we have today.  Is there a God?  If so, what is He like?  Why is there evil in the world?  Why are we here and where can we find purpose and hope?  In this course, which covers the first 22 chapters of Genesis, participants will see that God created a beautiful world and gave people a noble calling in His creation.  It explains how our world was fractured by human rebellion and presents the beginnings of God's plan to put everything back together. 

 

We hope you will register to join our class or come visit us.
