Meet Your Bible” is an 8-week class that provides an overview of every book in the Bible. Week 1 summarizes the epic sweep of the Bible’s entire story of God’s saving work. The next 4 weeks look more closely at how the Old Testament (the Hebrew Scriptures) launch God’s “big story” of redemption, tracing how law, history, poetry and prophecy fit together in these vital documents. In the last 3 weeks we see how the New Testament carries on and completes God’s “big story” through letters, gospels and the vision of Revelation that carry the story to its triumphant completion.

You are welcome here!

Our children learn that the quality of their lives depends on the quality of their choices.

This class is best suited for parents with children 8 and below.
