Join us this fall on select Sundays at 10:10 am in Barbour Chapel as we go back to the basics with our “Bible 101” Series beginning Sunday, September 24.
Pastors Jeff and Jasmine will co–lead sessions (with a few guests!) about the history and theological development of the Bible, as well as the hermeneutics of different genres of Scripture (best practices for how to read). We’ll conclude with a session on how to connect Scripture with our daily life. Whether you have been reading the Bible all your life, or are brand new to the book of our faith, we hope to see you learn with us.
