What You'll Cover

Experience the transformative event of the Good News of Jesus Christ through the Gospels of Mark, Matthew, and Luke, Acts of the Apostles, Paul’s Letters, and the Letter to the Hebrews. As we understand Jesus’s earthly ministry and the response of the early Church, we too are inspired for our own lives of witness in our world today.

Preparing at Home

We recommend setting aside 2-3 hours a week (just 20-30 min a day!) for reading the assigned Scriptures and writing responses to discussion questions to share with your group each week. There are no tests, quizzes, or grades--our purpose is discipleship.

At Home and in Class

Reading the Bible at home can be part of your ordinary prayer life! We encourage participants to listen for the Holy Spirit and stop to dwell on passages where God speaks to you. We draw from the riches of the Church in praying together, using Scripture, during class.
