Bible Study - Christian Believer
"Knowing God With Heart and Mind"
Do You Hunger for a better understanding of
the Word of God and desire a deeper fellowship through
prayer and study with other Christians? Based on the small
group model of Jesus and the 12 disciples, this nine-month
exploration of the scriptures is aimed at developing strong
Christian leaders using trained teachers.
The Course
Christian Believer is a
30-week study
integrating the Bible with the basic beliefs of the
Christian faith. The goal of the Christian Believer is to
make available the substance of the Christian faith that the
church has confessed through its long history as a way of
connecting to God and living faithfully.
With the Bible as the primary text, the
two-hour sessions consist of a 20-minute video presented by
a Bible scholar along with a group discussion. A daily
commitment of 30-45 minutes of personal Bible study is
required of each participant. Seasonal breaks are arranged
during holidays. Graduates receive a certificate from their
church.
This course is split up typically on
Tuesdays and Thursdays with one day at our church and
another day at one of the other participating United
Methodist Churches. Classes begin in September of each year if
there is sufficient interest. Participants must register in advance.
There is a per person fee of $40 to cover cost of materials
for the 30-week course.
