§  Biblical Financial Study – ‘Many people are experiencing financial challenges. Did you know that the Bible contains 2,350 verses dealing with money? Christians have been taught what the Bible says about how to handle 10% of their income - the area of giving. Although this is crucial, they need to understand God’s perspective of managing the rest of their money as well.’ This study will equip you  in getting out of debt, saving, spending, budgeting, earning money, investing, giving, and training children. Jeff & Marianne Marstaller will be teachers. The materials cost $55 per couple and $45 for one person.

§  Reading Scripture 101—Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? Sometimes finding the right answer is just a matter of asking the right questions, and knowing where to find the answer! In this class we will study passages of scripture together with the goal of learning the most from each passage. We all know the joy of being convicted or encouraged by reading scripture. We also know the frustration of reading a passage multiple times and still wondering, ‘What is the main point of this?’ These basic Bible study techniques will help you to more consistently and purposefully mediate and apply God’s word to everyday life. Josh Libby will be teaching this class that meets in the Chapel.
