We invite you to study God's Word with us each week!

Biblical Teaching is a big part of who we are as a Church. God uses His Word and its proclamation to birth and sustain His church. Every believer needs the regular teaching of God's Word.  

Blessed is the man ... [whose] delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law, he meditates day and night. [3] He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. ...Psalm 1

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. [17] And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:16–17
