Bethel Bible Study
The congregational Bethel program provides a comprehensive and exciting overview of the entire Bible. This two-year program involves the study of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation in two 10 - week sessions each year. Year 1 is a look at the Old Testament, with year two featuring the New Testament. Participants will need to purchase binders of lesson notes produced at the Bethel headquarters in the US. Your instructor will order these binders on your behalf and also provide additional handouts for your use as the material requires. Each class will last about two hours to allow for explanation and discussion. For maximum benefit from this course, participants should be prepared to spend two to three hours in weekly preparation. A diploma is presented to those who successfully complete the course. The next offering of this course will be likely be delayed until January of 2022 or possibly later. Contact Bob Shirley for more details.
Tuesday morning Bible Study 10:00 a.m.
currently on hold due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols
Our methods for study are simple – we use the Bible and answer questions designed to provoke discussion and the sharing of personal insights in an atmosphere of encouragement and love. We focus on one book of the Bible at a time and have already studied a variety, including the Book of Acts, the Letters of Paul to the Romans, Galatians, Ephesians as well as the letters of Peter and John. Our last study (Fall of 2020) was the Book of Esther. We examined each of the main characters and discovered how God prepared Esther to save her people from destruction. We hope to begin a study of Ruth once we are able to meet in-person again. It is our intention to explore John’s gospel at a later date.
