We provide many great opportunities to study the Bible, connect with each other, and grow in faith together. As we experience life; we each offer unique and personal stories of triumph and struggle, whereby our faith has the opportunity to be strengthened. Our Bible Studies are aimed at supporting and celebrating with each other as we mutually grow closer to God. The author C.S Lewis was quoted saying,
“If you want to get warm you must stand near the fire: if you want to be wet you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them.”— C.S Lewis
He was, of course, referring to our need as Christians to be living in the Word of God. What sound advice he offered. We have a variety of Bible Study topics and groups so that you can get ‘into the thing that has them’…the Word of God.
