All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
— 2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)

We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, and that God speaks to His people through His Word. As God’s people, we want to study His Word to know Him better.

Announcements

for all facilitators to attend the prestudy held on the 3rd Thursday of each month.
  • There will be no official Bible Studies scheduled for care groups for December in lieu of church camp and year end activities. Care groups are free to plan their own fellowship meetings or catch up on past studies. Do note that there will still be prestudy for BS #17 and #18 on 18 December in preparation for January 2026.
  • Facilitators are reminded to attend the prestudies live.
  • How should we study the Bible?

    We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells us, His people, and enables us to interpret and apply His Word. We approach the study of the Word of God by first humbly asking the Holy Spirit to illumine our minds and aid our understanding.

    We then approach the passage verse by verse, asking ourselves three main questions:

    1. What does the passage say?
    2. What does it mean?
    3. How can this be applied?

    The idea is to dig deeper at each level. We start with general observations, move to an in-depth examination of the verse in context, looking at commentaries if necessary to aid in our understanding of the background, and finally, we consider the practical application of the principles in our lives.
