Bible 101: Hope Grows

A class that covers the basic teachings of the Bible and what it means to be a Christian.

In a world full of sadness, anxiety, and loneliness, Jesus gives HOPE! We invite you to come and explore the Bible with us to get to know Jesus by seeing him in the Bible. Your hope will grow!

What does the Bible teach?
Why bother attending a class about the teachings of the Bible? Well, God promises that as you get to know him and his Word better, your hope will grow! That's not all. Would you like more love in your life? More joy? More patience, kindness, goodness? Would the people around you appreciate it if you had more gentleness or self-control?

God promises all this and more as you learn about his incredible love for you in the Bible. Bible 101: Hope Grows will give you insight into why the world is the way it is. Come and learn about who Jesus is and why he had to die and rise. Find out why baptism and communion are such great blessings.

This class is for new Christians, skeptics, adults who are interested in membership at St. Paul's, and anyone who wants to get back to the basics. If you are looking for hope in a world of doubt and disappointment, this is the class for you!
