Welcome to

  Bible Study

2007-2008 Disciple Bible Study classes start the week of August 28th! This year we are offering Disciple1 , Disciple 2 and Disciple 3 classes. We invite you to prayerfully consider this opportunity for spiritual growth and small group community.

Disciple 1: BECOMING DISCIPLES THROUGH BIBLE STUDY, is a 32-week course of weekly Bible study and listening to Scripture followed by an overnight retreat. The entry level class, Disciple 1, offers an overview of the entire Bible in a small-group setting. During the course of the year, the group will read and discuss about 70% of the Bible. Weekly meetings last about 2 hours. Study for the weekly meeting averages about 2-3 hours. Disciple is a great way to learn more about our Biblical heritage, and it aims at transformation and not just information. All levels of Bible scholarship are welcome! The small group environment also allows members to get to know each other well. Click here for Disciple 1 registration form

Disciple 2: INTO THE WORD, INTO THE WORLD, is prepared for those who have completed Disciple 1. This 32-week study delves deeper into the Old and New Testaments with concentration on four books: Genesis, Exodus, Luke, and Acts (8 lessons on each book). Appropriate connections are made to other parts of Scripture both through reading and study assignments and through commentary in the study manual. Participants will read familiar passages, see them in fresh ways, and anticipate that God will speak through them. The study also emphasizes the rhythm of coming to God and going for God, of being in the Word and in the world individually and corporately. Click here for Disciple 2 registration form

Disciple 3: REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE, is prepared for those who have completed Disciple 1. This a 32-week course focused on most of the major and minor Old Testament prophets in the fall, and the thirteen letters traditionally attributed to Paul in the spring. To establish the historical context in which the prophets spoke for God, daily reading assignments also draw on the books of Deuteronomy through Chronicles. Study of the prophets will follow their historical sequence rather than their biblical sequence. The dating of Paul's letters influences the sequence of their study. Disciple 3 also has supplementary reading materials designed to enhance the study. Click here for Disciple 3 registration form
