Other Weekly Education for Adults

 

 

Christian education takes place on more than Sunday mornings. During the week, you'll find ample opportunity to increase your depth of knowledge, both Biblically and theologically.

 

Tuesday Morning Men's Bible Study- Begins on January 8, 2013

Wednesday Morning Women's Bible Study- Begins on January 9, 2013

 

A Journey with James–an early Christian who says, “Faith without works is dead”.   Faith, favoritism, and accepting persecution-these are the themes offered to an early group of Christians and themes that still speak to us.  Come and join in the conversation and fellowship.  We start with prayers and the community around the table has room for you!  We all can learn from a study of Holy Scripture.   Both groups are open to new participants.
