Wednesday Evenings 6:00-6:45 PM
Track 1
Very Important Chapters of the Bible
Each Wednesday will be spent studying a different chapter within Scripture that is key to understanding the whole of God’s Word for us.
Track 2
The Fruit of the Spirit (Fall Semester)
This Bible study looks at the godly characteristics that are naturally a part of Christian life. As a tree cannot help but bear fruit, so Christians, planted by God in Christ will also bear fruit in all areas of their lives.
Bible Symbols (Spring Semester)
Symbols used throughout the Bible have the potential to be misunderstood and misinterpreted. This Bible study establishes good principles for interpreting those symbols.
