How to Study the Bible

Chronological Bible Study
12-week class - Tuesdays at 6:30pm beginning September 12th
Studying the Bible in chronological order - the order in which the events took place in history - helps us to see God's plan of redemption weaved throughout the story of mankind.

Care Ministry Workshop: Anger
4-week class on Wednesdays at 6:45pm beginning September 27th
Controlling the emotion of anger is a universal struggle. Whether anger arises from relationships, family, the workplace, or everyday frustrations, the Bible is clear in its instruction that we need to keep our anger in check. This Care Ministry Workshop will explore the source of our anger and provide practical tools to help overcome anger through the power of Christ working in your life.
Care Ministry Workshop: Hopelessness
3-week class on Wednesdays at 6:45pm beginning November 1st
The weight of the world and our circumstances can often leave us feeling hopeless. The Bible is full of examples of people feeling hopeless, and in its pages we can see the many ways God works in the lives of His people to bring them to a place of hope. This Care Ministry Workshop will provide practical, biblical tools and perspective for those dealing with hopelessness as we seek to overcome it through the power of Christ working in our lives.
Care Ministry Workshop: Depression

The Biblical care class on depression combines faith and practical support. Participants learn to navigate depression through prayer, self-reflection, and compassionate community. The class emphasizes God's presence in times of darkness, offering hope and resilience. It provides a safe space to share experiences, fostering connections and reducing isolation. Attendees will explore biblical figures who overcame despair, gaining insight into managing their own challenges.
