Throughout the year, we offer mid-week Bible studies for men and women from every age and stage of life. Our studies range in difficulty and outside time commitment.

Meeting regularly for teaching, accountability, and friendship builds our personal commitment to follow Jesus passionately, connects us in mutual community, and makes us into committed disciples. Registration is required for most Bible studies—use the button below to register for any of the following studies:
