Testimonies of Group Members
Bible Study is fulfilling, informative and thought provoking. I had no idea what to expect when I registered, but I knew, right from the first day, that this was what the Holy Spirit led me to. The groups are welcoming and Scripture focused. The meetings are informal and friendly, allowing you to share your thoughts on Scripture if you desire to. There is no pressure. I learn something during each session, and I’m drawn to read more of the Bible during the week. We are called to know, love and serve our Lord. Bible Study helps us to know Him further and deepen our relationship with Him. Peter Eckel
The Bible studies are awesome. They allow a group of friendly people the opportunity to discuss Scripture in a relaxed setting. Every week I learn something about the Lord, the Lord’s word, and from everybody else in the group. I hope that the Bible studies go on indefinitely. Michael Huber
I have been attending Bible study groups for several years and find it to be soul nourishing and strengthening for the seasons of life that we all go through. I felt a wonderful peace that comes with reading God’s Word. I encourage you to join a Bible study group and assure you that you will be blessed by it in more ways than you could ever have imagined!
