Our Bible theme this year will be the Book of Romans. Romans was written by the Apostle Paul around the year 58. It was sent to the church in Rome, a church that Paul had never met. It is filled with great theological thought as it is the highest theology of the New Testament. We hope that you grow in faith as a result of our study this year.

This year’s Bible Study is, “Resilience: Finding Joy, and our own identity in Jesus Christ.” How do we find our resilience and joy in the midst of stressful life circumstances?

Join us as we rediscover our resilience, joy and identity found in Christ.
