Bible Journey Room 315


This class is dedicated to a thorough study of the Bible.  We tackle one book at a time (in no set order) and explore it in depth.  There are no experts here; only eager learners and we encourage lots of discussion and questions.  When Paul’s journey brings him to the place from which he wrote the epistles, we are studying those letters, then resume the study of Acts.  Our class is made up of people of all ages, attached and unattached, but all young at heart.  If you’re interested in a detailed study of the Bible and would like a “learning together” approach, we invite you to join us.
