Bible Study/Doctrine ACTS Classes
8 wks - 1 ½ hrs A survey of Christian biblical interpretation with an emphasis upon sound principles of exegesis and interpretation.

6 wks - 1 hr Every person is destined for either Heaven or Hell. This class will examine the biblical evidence for the reality and nature of these places and what determines one’s eternal destiny. Beyond seeking satisfaction for our curiosity about these places, we will consider how our understanding of Heaven and Hell influences our Christian experience now.
6 wks - 1 ½ hrs Eight core spiritual beliefs and attitudes serve as “triggers” for spiritual growth. Learn to understand and embrace these to grow as Christians. A great class for new believers.
