Disciple Bible Study
DISCIPLE Bible Studies - The purpose of the four DISCIPLE Bible Studies is to develop strong Christian disciples through regular in-depth study of Scripture. The groups will meet weekly for 2 hours. Through daily readings, class attendance and participation, video lessons by Christian scholars, and engaging dialogue, participants will grow in their faith and knowledge of the Bible.
Disciple making and Christian nurturing are the goals of DISCIPLE. This study will cover the entire Bible - Genesis to Revelation. It lays the foundation for transforming Bible study. Persons who have completed DISCIPLE I may then proceed to a DISCIPLE II, III, IV in no particular order.
"If you make my word your home you will
indeed be my disciples." John 8:31
