  • (Saturday) The Message of the Cross--1 Corinthians

    Led by Pastor Dan Myers and Troy Nordman

    Corinth was the most “American” city in the New Testament – it was a resort city, the capital of pleasure in the Roman Empire. It was also the biggest problem in the New Testament. Join us as we study through this letter that Paul wrote then and God’s Word speaks to us now.

  • Paul's Letter to the Ephesians

    Led by Pastor Snow

    Who am I? The question may be in the back of our minds and it’s currently at the forefront of social conversations. As we seek an answer, our first question needs to be: Who is God? In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul describes God as a merciful and forgiving Father who unites us in Christ and empowers us to live by the Spirit. We’re adopted children and fellow citizens with the saints because of God’s loving pursuit of us. This Bible Class will journey through Paul’s Epistle to the Christians in Ephesus. We’ll discuss what the church is, and an exhortation to all followers of Christ concerning all that membership in the church involves. We will come to understand the riches of our inheritance as children of our heavenly Father, as well as what it means to walk in a manner worthy of our calling. Together, we’ll learn how Paul emphasizes the wisdom of God and we’ll make specific applications of this New Testament book to our faith and life. 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
  • (Sunday) The Message of the Cross--1 Corinthians

    Led by Pastor Dan Myers and Troy Nordman

    Corinth was the most “American” city in the New Testament – it was a resort city, the capital of pleasure in the Roman Empire. It was also the biggest problem in the New Testament. Join us as we study through this letter that Paul wrote then and God’s Word speaks to us now.

    Sunday Mornings 9:30-10:30 am in the Concordia Room
  • A Study of Genesis Verse By Verse

    Led by Carl Nelson

    Genesis: An in-depth study of Genesis covering each verse.  Generally, one chapter will be covered each week. Class members are encouraged to bring their study bibles and engage in open discussion to share and learn what God is telling us. We seek the knowledge imparted from His Word and pray for wisdom to do what God wishes in our lives and in becoming more enabled to be good witnesses and disciples.

    Sunday Mornings 9:30-10:30 am in the 2nd Grade Classroom
  • John: The Life of Christ (Continued)

    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. 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 7th Grade Classroom
  • In the Beginning...(Continued)

    Led by Aaron Zimmerman

    We will be finishing up our study of Genesis and continuing right into the book of Exodus. The account of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, as God’s chosen people, will continue as we learn how God formed the nation of Israel and continued to protect and provide for them to fulfill His plan for the world. The journey through Exodus will look at the Mosaic law, the revelation of the Ten Commandments, the remembrance of the Passover, the building of the Tabernacle, and the consecration of the earliest priests. We will also study Israel’s propensity towards disobedience as a reminder of God’s grace for them… and for us today.

    Sunday Mornings 9:30-10:30 am in the Parlor
  • Women's Bible Study: “Meant for Good: A Study of Joseph" (Continued)

    Led by Kris Osler

    This class will continue their study of “Meant for Good: A Study of Joseph” by Donna Snow. We will look at the grand story of Joseph as he faithfully waits for God’s plans to come together. We will uncover how these struggles, woven together into a rich narrative of hope and faithfulness, showcase our need to let God’s love and forgiveness lead before our own selfish wants. We will see that trusting God to use our lives for good allows us to be brave and bold in our faith. All ladies are welcome!
