WHY BIBLE CLASSES?
Maybe you’re wondering why we offer Bible classes, when we already learn about God through our weekly sermons. Our classes are a different type of interactive learning environment where you can go deeper into your study of God and his word. You can ask questions, wrestle with ideas, and learn and grow with others. Our classes run for 12 weeks, so that also means you can really dig into a topic or book of the Bible in more depth and detail. Our classes are also a great place to meet and connect with other believers and be encouraged by their shared stories and insights.
Girls ages 6th-12th Grade from around the valley are invited to join us on Wednesday, August 2nd for our Girls with Grace event. Spend time with friends learning new crafting skills.
