Weekday Studies
Weekday adult educational opportunities at Faith Lutheran.
Lectionary Bible Study (All Year Round)
Prepare for next Sunday’s worship by studying the Bible texts with the pastor who will be preaching. Every Tuesday, all year, noon – 1 p.m. in the church office conference room. No commitment, just come when you can.
Crossways Bible Study (Only during the school year)
Crossways is a “big picture” study of the whole Bible. It gives an overview of each book within a framework for seeing the Bible’s “big story.” It combines Bible reading, commentary, and illustrations to show how the Bible fits together. If you want to know your Bible better, Crossways is for you! Sign up for the new class at church or talk to Pastor Scott.
- Crossways (Year 3): Sundays at 6:00 p.m.
- Crossways (Year 1): Mondays at 6:30 p.m.
Here is what some past and current Crossways participants say about the course:
“Replace your confusion with clarity as Pastor Scott takes you on an eye-opening journey through Crossways and the history surrounding the events of the Bible.” – Shawn Anderson
Year one of Crossways left me eager for year two and three… Find out what you don’t know about the Judges, Kings and biblical figures we thought we knew.” – Gail Telecky
“I am so glad I listened to others’ recommendations about Crossways! I have truly loved digging deeper for a better understanding and grasp of the Bible. So many ‘So that’s why’ and ‘Now I get it’ moments.” – Mary Hodson
“I had never been in a study before. It was way more than I expected!! I told my friends how excited I was and four of them joined in year two. They also agree it is awesome!” – Barb Anderson
Monday 10:30 a.m. Bible Study (Only during the school year)
A Bible Study series offered September – May, Monday mornings, from 10:30 a.m. to noon. All are welcome. Coffee provided (sometimes treats, too!)
For 2023-2024: The Origins Story
The Origins Story, a study of the book of Genesis, will meet on Mondays from 10:30 a.m. until noon, starting on September 11. Genesis profoundly reveals God’s will for the world, exposes the human condition, sets the foundation for the entire Bible and points to Christ as Lord in intriguing ways.
