We believe in sharing ideas through discussion. We sit around a table, facing each other. As the leader offers his ideas about he lesson, members are encouraged to share their thoughts as well.

Walk Thru The Bible Class - This class aspires to provide a thorough thematic walk along the holy highway of God's progressively revealed work of redemption beginning in Genesis and continuing through Revelation. It is a journey that takes a little over two years to complete. New walkers are welcome anywhere along the way. Daniel Webster said that "given a lifetime, no one could ever plumb the depths of truth revealed in God's holy word." We are finding that to be true. Our travel guide is Robbie Parks.

Location: Second floor meeting room accessed through church office.
