- Meetings:
- The Chosen Bible Study- Starting Feb. 19th, we are starting a new small group bible study to get us discussing and growing in faith around the Bible. We will show the first episode of season one of the award winning show The Chosen after church. Afterwards, there will be a study guide on our app and/or handed out at church for those that would like to dig deeper into the Word and topical discussion that was brought out in the episode.
Our hope is that as we gather to watch the episodes and study in small groups we can help ignite the passion for learning more about Jesus and his call on your life. The first episode is 54 minutes long and it is entitled, "I Have Called You By Name". Please make arrangements to join us in fellowship and discipleship each Sunday afterward for another episode and another chance to grow in Christ.
