Theology Basics Class - February 4th
When you consider theology, you may think of confusing, lofty terminology that only concerns scholars and pastors. But in reality, theology is for anyone who wants to better understand God and learn more about the Bible. Theology―the study of God and his word―should be personal, accessible, and worshipful. Join us as we use the book, Knowing God's Truth by Jon Nielson, to study the doctrines of scripture, God, man, etc. This 12 week class will meet on Sundays at 10:30am in Room 210 beginning on February 4th and conclude on April 28th. (Will not meet on Easter Sunday.) Sign up here.
