Small Groups

Essentials Of Faith | Why do we need the Bible?

6:30pm-7:30pm

Tuesdays.

Join Aaron & Elyse Adams as we work through a 6-week RightNow Media study on the essentials of our faith. Our focus will be on Why do we need the Bible?

The Bible is a wonderful book filled with poetry, historical events, exciting narratives, and stories from the life of Jesus. But because it is an ancient text, it can also be intimidating and confusing. Its complexity makes many people wonder if we even need the Bible—can’t we experience God without it? In this six-session series, author and Bible teacher Lisa Harper unpacks the value and importance of the Bible for everyday believers. In this series, we will learn about what the Bible is, how God communicates with us through it, and why we should read it.
