Not My Jesus Bible Study

Tuesday Night Bible Study

DEEP CREEK CAMPUS

Beginning September 9th, join us on Tuesday nights from 7:00 - 8:30 in the Concourse Room at the Deep Creek Campus.  Everyone is invited and this is a great opportunity for those who are not able to attend a Connect Group on Sunday mornings to experience Bible study and community during the week.  In our next study, "Not My Jesus - Reclaiming the Truth, Rejecting the Idols," we will identify ways that many misunderstand Jesus by comparing the Jesus of Scripture to counterfeit versions shaped by preferences, opinions, and culture.

Bible Study at Deep Creek

Wednesday Bible Study

DEEP CREEK CAMPUS

Pastor Larry's bible study class meets Wednesday afternoons at 2:00pm in the Concourse Room at the Deep Creek Campus.  The meeting time will change to 1:00pm starting September 3rd.  This Bible study offers a place to connect with other believers and to grow in our understanding of the Bible, as Jesus' own small group of disciples did; making you part of a family.  We should not become satisfied with simply learning what the Bible says, but rather, we should strive together to obey God's inspired instruction to our hearts.
