Bible Study at First Lutheran

Ongoing Studies at First Lutheran Church

Most Americans, religious or not, have heard of and read part or even the entire Bible. It is arguably one of the most often referenced books in our culture.

The Bible is a diverse collection of writings, divided into two main sections:

• The Old Testament, which tells the story of God’s relationship with and work on behalf of the Hebrew people
• The New Testament, which shares the story of Jesus, God’s Son, and his teachings, death and resurrection, as well as the experiences and faith of the first followers of Jesus

As Lutherans, we believe that the Bible is the written Word of God. It creates and nurtures faith through the work of the Holy Spirit and points us to Jesus Christ, the living Word and center of our faith. In reading the Bible, we are invited into a relationship with God that both challenges us and promises us new life.

We believe it is important to read the Bible on a regular basis for personal reflection and to study with fellow Christians to gain a deeper understanding of the Word of God.

Here are some of the current opportunities for regular Bible Study:

WELCA Bible Study – The Women of the church gather for Bible Study on a yearly theme once a month. See the WELCA information section of our website for times and places.
