Each year a variety of Bible studies and book discussions are offered, led by the pastor and/or lay leaders. Study groups typically meet weekly.  Depending on the curriculum, studies cover between two months and nine months.   Recent studies have included in-depth explorations of the prophets, the letters of Paul, and the New and Old Testaments more broadly.  The pastor and lay leaders are always open to course study ideas.

Wednesday Night Study Group (7 PM) – Second and fourth Wednesdays in the summer months

Join us for adult Bible study. We watch and discuss interesting videos, and relate them to what we learn from the Bible.

Feel free to zoom in when you can. All are welcome—no prior knowledge is necessary!

Tuesday Morning Study Group (9 – 10:30 AM) resumes October 11, 2022.

“Under the Tree of Life” (access the manual here)

The study concentrates on Old Testament writings, the Gospel of John, the
Epistles of John, James, Jude, and finally, Revelation. Emphasis on the Psalms as Israel’s hymnbook and prayer book leads naturally to an emphasis on worship in the study. Present through the entire study is the sense of living toward completion – toward the climax of the message and the promise, extravagant-
ly pictured in Revelation. The image of the tree and the color gold emphasize the promise in the Scriptures. The word under in the title is meant to convey invitation, welcome, sheltering, security, and rest – home at last.
