Wednesday Bible Study

Pastor Larry's Wednesday Bible Study has a new time.  Class meets Wednesday afternoons at 2:00pm in the Concourse Room at the Deep Creek Campus.  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.
