DISCIPLE
BIBLE STUDY CLASSES
The goal of these studies is more than information about the
Bible; the goal is transformation in the lives of the
participants. Each class reads and discusses assigned
Biblical passages, hears from scholars via video, prays
together, enjoys fellowship and is challenged to let the
experiences form them into active disciples of Christ.
Participants covenant together to be faithful in their
preparation and attendance. Students are asked to pay for
materials; some scholarship help is available. |
