Building Bridges (6:30-7:30pm Room J) Recommended for ages 14-19 

Evangelism is one of our primary directives as Christians, but sharing our faith is easier said than done. In this original curriculum, students will explore ways to tell the story of Jesus to people of other world religions. They’ll learn what questions to ask, points they can agree on, ways to avoid hostility, and most important Bible lessons non-Christians need to know.

Recommended for ages 11-15 

Youth will take an honest look at the holy mystery and the complexity of Scripture while exploring the richness of Methodist history and doctrine to prepare them for the next step in their faith - Confirmation

Using the Book of Nehemiah, popular author and pastor Jacob Armstrong explores the physical and spiritual renovation experienced by the nation of Judah. Nehemiah knew that his plan for renovating the wall and gates of Jerusalem would be hard work. But equally hard would be the spiritual renovation of the Jewish people as they returned to their homeland.

Thankfully, spiritual renovation is not a do-it-yourself project. We need God's great power working through us to renovate our lives by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Taught by: Elaine Edwards

This fast track study will take you through the entire Bible. Attendance during the 24 week study is important for you and the entire group. Elaine is an excellent teacher of Disciple. She facilitates great discussions that help us to see the overall theme of the story of God’s love for us. If you have never done a serious Bible study, this is a great place to start.

This Bible Study for Men is designed to help men come to a closer relationship with God. It also teaches us how to work together to be accountability partners. Emphasis will be placed on how to pray for change in our lives.
