Sunday Morning Bible Study (Virtual)
Sundays from 8:00am - 9:00am on Zoom
As adults study the Bible and discuss what they found during the week they gain a growing understanding of how to move forward on their discipleship journey. In the class, we read the Scripture and then focus on the passage. Each week we’re challenged to prepare for the next week’s lesson. It isn’t long or difficult, but it does encourage participation. Men and women of all ages are welcome.

Our previous study series:

The Teaching Company produces videos as part of its “Great Courses” series, which features Dr. Gary Rendsburg, Ph.D., chair of the Department of Jewish Studies at Rutgers University. The scrolls shed light on Jewish culture and theology at the time of Christ and raise issues about the transmittal of the Biblical record across time.
In 2022 and 2023, Ellen Breazeale and Walt Campbell led "Reading Biblical Literature" "History of Christianity I and II” video lecture and discussion group, using two Great Courses video lecture series.
In 202, "Simply Christian will be taught by Rev. Dr. Adam Smith. What is Christianity all about?
