Comprehensive Bible Study
for adults

If you make my word your home you will indeed be my disciples. -- John 8:31

Jesus issues a challenge to those who would be his disciples: Take up residence in my teaching. Spend time with me – long enough to feel at home with me. Nothing less will do. But with this challenge, Jesus also includes a promise: to make a home in my word, he says, is to find a home in my way. The nature of discipleship, Jesus says, is like the lifetime of labor it takes to establish a place for growth and nurture, refuge and redemption, trust and hope. In the end, becoming a disciple, like making a home, is its own reward.

Read, reflect, discern, discuss, question. Disciple Bible study is for those who want to explore God's message to us in today's world. This class works for all levels of prior Bible knowledge. There are four different strands of study in the Disciple curriculum. Each class lasts one school year, spending the first semester on the Old Testament and the second semester on the New Testament.

"I always look forward to our Monday meetings where we discuss the week's reading. It's a welcome escape where we can speak, learn and think outside the box of everyday life to consider what it means to truly live life. My advice: stop thinking about taking a class and just do it. Commit to doing the first three then decide; you'll never know what you're missing unless you try". -- Tom Grubb, classes of 2008 and 2010

Disciple Bible study simply put is a journey for me, joining together in a community of diverse individuals to navigate the old and new testaments together. The path is sometimes rocky and sometimes smooth but very enriching in learning the scriptures and hearing other perspectives and others hearing my perspectives. Disciple Bible study is a journey of learning, journey of faith and journey of fellowship. -- Darrin Johnson, class of 2010
