Adult Christian Education

​Bible Study
A Bible Study on the Gospel of Matthew, starting September 1st--taking a break during December
This is a thematic study rather than a verse-by-verse study. We will be studying chapter by chapter, so we'll be working on Matthew's timeline, but we're not going to cover every verse of every chapter.  Attached is some info on Matthew and a schedule for the next few months.  

​The class will be held in First Christian Church’s Zoom and Room 6 on Thursdays from 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. All are welcome! 

Please let the church office or Pastor Jesse know if you plan on attending so you can receive study questions each week.

Study questions and readings will be listed on this page each week and left up until the bible study is over.
