The Chosen (Season Four): A Video and Interactive Bible Study
Led by Pastor Snow
This Bible study will continue to be an interactive study making use of the popular, groundbreaking, and much-acclaimed streaming television series: The Chosen-Season 4. Participants in this study will be guided on a journey through the life, ministry, and work of Jesus in a way that brings the Old and New Testaments to life in a fresh and new way.
Throughout their history, God rescued Israel again and again. His rescue served as a reminder that they were His beloved people, His Chosen People!
What does it mean to be “Chosen,” especially in a day and age when issues of identity are at the forefront of culture and a desire for purpose seems to reign supreme?
Join this Bible Class journey with Pastor Snow as we search the scriptures to see how the coming of the promised Messiah extends the status of “chosen” to all who respond to His call. That’s us! We are the chosen people of God!
Be sure to bring your own Bibles each week so that you can highlight and make notes for your own future reference and study!
Sunday Mornings 9:30-10:30 am in the Worship Center -

Modern Issues: A Moral Compass for an Election Year
This class will meet in the months of September and October.
Led by Dr. Lionel Alford
Complex issues in the modern world pose a dilemma for many. Chief among them is what basis should we use for making decisions? In our society, how we make decisions drives how we vote and for whom. Because there are broader and more complex questions awaiting us, what should drive our decision-making process? What scientific issues should we support such as cloning, abortion, euthanasia, stem cell research, and the environment? How should we approach critical life decisions such as marriage, sexuality, forgiveness, work, honoring parents, and protecting ourselves and others? This class will evaluate these timeless issues and questions in terms of the New Testament and Old Testament understanding of them. We will look at cultures, documents, logic, philosophy, and theology to determine how to evaluate new ideas and how we should respond to the very difficult ones today.
Sunday Mornings 9:30-10:30 am in the Concordia Room -
John, Part 9: The Life of Christ
This class will meet in the months of November and December.
Led by Dr. Lionel Alford
This class is a study of the Gospel of John through the Greek. The Gospel of John is a great piece of Greek historical literature and a primary source document for our understanding of the life and words of Christ. John is one of the four extant and accepted Gospels. It is a Greek document written by John the Apostle, a man from the Hebrew culture who was an observant Jew and a disciple of Christ. In the overview of the Gospels we discovered that John is a thesis and logical argument—a logos to telos that was resolved through the signs followed by the resurrection of Christ. In John part 9, we will continue with the Greek basis for the Gospel and make an extensive cultural, social, linguistic, and historical study of it.
Sunday Mornings 9:30-10:30 am in the Concordia Room -
In the Beginning...
Led by Aaron Zimmerman
In the current trimester, we will continue the study of the book of Genesis with an emphasis on the authority of Scripture. We will learn of God’s perfect 6-day creation and the constructs that He put in place for marriage and family. We will fully understand how this perfection was fractured by man’s disobedience. We will explore God’s patience and wrath… why He destroyed the earth with a global flood, and the reason we have multiple languages and people groups. We will explore the covenant that God made with Noah’s family, and how His grace saved them… and still saves us today. We will learn of the lives of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, focusing on their faithfulness as they looked to God as their creator, provider, and protector.
