“Come and See!” is not just an invitation. Our Bible study’s desire is to “come and see” Christ each week through His Word and to support each other with encouragement and prayer.

 
The apostle John wrote in his Gospel that 45“Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law (and so did the prophets): Jesus the son of Joseph, from Nazareth!” 46 “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Nathanael asked him. “Come and see,” Philip answered.” John 1:45-46 (HCSB)

 
And the proof He was the Messiah is recorded in Matthew 28. “But the angel told the women, “Don’t be afraid, because I know you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here! For He has been resurrected, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay. Matthew 28:6 (HCSB)
We are a class of 10 to 15 people who meet in Room 212 each Sunday morning at 9:45am. It is for men and women of all ages. We have a fun ice breaker question each week that helps us get to know each other better. This is a safe environment from the world that allows us to be transparent and pray for one another’s needs.

 
We currently use the Explore the Bible study curriculum which encourages us to let the Bible teach the Bible. We use scripture and cultivate discussions that include current issues and topics that are relevant to everyday life. Some of our best discussions are generated from questions brought up by class members. We would love to have you visit us. Come and See!

The Quenched Bible Study Class provides a wonderful opportunity for young adults to come together in fellowship and deepen their understanding of God’s Word. We offer a place where college students and young professionals can grow in their faith through reading and discussing scripture. You can expect to gain wisdom, encouragement, lots of laughter and a new understanding of what it means to dig into God’s word. Quenched creates an environment where individuals can ask questions and learn what it means to really connect with God. Quenched will help you gain a new perspective within the stories you’ve probably heard a thousand times. The group strengthens not only personal relationships with God but also builds a hunger to learn about God’s heart. We meet Sundays at 11 am in room 217, where we enjoy a good sense of community as we read, pray and grow together in Christ.

 

 

 

 

Well, our Jubilee class is something special, you can feel the warmth as you enter the room (yes, sometimes the actual temperature is a little warm!). Throughout the Bible, we read encouragement to continue in the Lord’s work regardless of our situation, including our health conditions or limitations such as less hearing ability, less walking capacity, less ability to digest our favorite foods.

 
However, you know what? Most of us are now at the age where we can view life around us seemingly with more compassion and understanding of what others, especially younger others, are going through in their lives. We believe that our biggest contribution is being prayer warriors for our church and for our individual class members.

 
My personal vision for our class is to see us become stronger prayer warriors for the teenagers and the young adults in our church. We can prayerfully lay the burdens of our young people on the altar, keeping them covered in the blood as they walk through these confusing times of their lives and of this world. If you know some young person who needs more prayer coverage, please notify us through direct contact with me or through JD.

 

 
Oh, yes, we also try to go somewhere for lunch once in a while following the 11:00 service. Our special places are those with good access to parking!
