Come and see what happens in people’s lives when they discover God through the study of His Word, the Bible.

Our classes meet weekly during the school year, September through early May. Each class participant receives a course book with home study questions and commentaries. You’ll be part of weekly small group discussion times with a trained facilitator, and a large group teaching is presented in person, with a video available for online groups. From time to time, we'll enjoy connecting and relationship-building through additional in-person or virtual gatherings.

An Ethnos group is available (in-person) for those whose heart language is Spanish!

Genesis study - In the beginning...     

 

Genesis is the book of beginnings that addresses questions people are still asking today:

Who is God?

Why is there evil?

Why are we here?

In this study, you’ll see a personal Creator who forms, breathes life into, and walks with His people.
