Fall Bible Studies

All men and women are invited to join our weekly Bible Studies. We meet in The Venue at various times during the week, and this fall, we will be studying Genesis.

All groups, except for the men's Thursday morning study, will meet for a large group teaching time and then break into small groups for discussion, prayer, and fellowship. You can register online or the first morning you attend study. Cost is $10 for the study and an additional $5 if you would like a notebook.

*For the women's Thursday morning study, there is free childcare for children from birth through age 5. We request that each attendee "take a turn" in the nursery each week to share the childcare duties so all can attend.

We also offer a program for school-aged children who are taught the study at their age-appropriate level. They meet in the lower level of the Children's Wing. All children are welcome as long as their mom or caregiver is registered in the main study.

We look forward to seeing you this fall!

New City Catechism

Q33. Should those who have faith in Christ seek their salvation through their own works, or anywhere else? (Galatians 2:16)

Answer: No, they should not, as everything necessary to salvation is found in Christ. To seek salvation through good works is a denial that Christ is the only Redeemer and Savior.
