DISCIPLE BIBLE STUDY - all studies begin in the Fall of the year
DISCIPLE I - Becoming Disciples Through Bible Study, a 34-week study designed to guide a small group from Genesis to Revelation with an emphasis on learning what is in the Bible and how the Bible applies to daily life. DISCIPLE II - Into the Word, Into the World, a 32-week study with a concentration on Genesis, Exodus, Luke and Acts; 8 weeks spent on each book
DISCIPLE III- Remember Who You Are, a 32-week study of the Old Testament prophets and Paul's letters, the historical context in which the prophets spoke for God
DISCIPLE IV - Under the Tree of Life, a 32-week study which concentrates on writings in the Old Testament (Ruth, 1 and 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemian, Esther, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Lamentations, and Daniel); as well as writings in the New Testament (John, James, Jude and Revelation)
Christian Believer - a 30-week study about doctrine; what the church teaches and believes. Less about opinion, more about facts.
Graduates of DISCIPLE I are offered DISCIPLE II, III, IV and Christian Believer. There is a $35 fee required for DISCIPLE I, DISCIPLE II, DISCIPLE III and DISCIPLE IV participants to cover the cost of the student manual for each course. $45 fee for the Christian Believer materials.
Each of the studies aims at transformation of one's faith, not just information sharing.In these studies, one can expect to spend individual preparation time (30 to 40 minutes) on a daily basis for the length of the study.
