Bible
Studies
We have a number of Bible studies and classes going on throughout the year at Trinity. Take a look at the list below to find one or more you would like to join and contact us with any questions about how to get started!
Men's Group Study- Galatians: Exchange Legalism For True Spirituality
Join our men's Bible study group on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 PM as they work through a Warren Wiersbe study on the book of Galatians. Galatians carries a dangerous message. It's propelled by a radical idea that continues to challenge man-made beliefs and principles: The Christian religion is not about religion at all. It's about a relationship restored, and living by love, not legalism. In this study of the book of Galatians, we find Paul's battle cry for the true gospel and encounter the freedom found in placing our faith in Christ alone.
Women's Group Study- Abide
Thursdays at 9:30 am in the Philadelphia Room. We will be using a study by Jen Wilkin called "Abide." It is a study of 1, 2, and 3 John. These are letters we do not study very often and are excited to do so. The study guide can be purchased on Amazon or Lifeway. For questions, email Irene Jenkins at irjenk@comcast.net.
Monday Night Bible Study- Taking The Next Step
Join our Monday night online Bible study called "Taking the Next Step." You are a Christian...is it time for you to enrich and enhance your Christian life? Scripture tells us to "Go and make disciples of all nations." This biblically based study will help you in taking the next step in your faith journey. Your next step can be adapted to YOUR comfort level. Bill Rehrig will lead this study via ZOOM only on Monday evenings at 7:00 PM beginning Monday, September 23. Register by emailing Bill Rehrig at william.rehrig@yahoo.com. He will email out the study materials weekly to registered participants.
Wednesday Morning Bible Study- Exodus
Bible teacher Mary Lou Roberts will be leading a study on the book of Exodus on Wednesday mornings at 11:00 AM, beginning on September 11. This study by John MacArthur guides readers through the historical period beginning with God's calling of Moses, continuing through the giving of the Ten Commandments, and concluding with the Israelites' preparations to enter the Promised Land.
Wednesday Evening Bible Study- The Spirit Empowers
This Bible study will be held on Wednesdays during our family program called The Well, which begins on September 11. Acts provides for us an historical account of the first three decades of the early church, biographical information to set the Apostle Paul within that historical context, and practical encouragement through those examples. Acts teaches us to rely on God's Spirit as we share the gospel, daily engage with other believers, and faithfully endure whatever difficulties come until Jesus returns
Small
Groups
Bible study small groups are groups of approximately three to six people that gather to participate in a bible study (whether it's a church-wide study or one that your group picks). Groups meet in someone's home or at church at a time that's convenient for the members of that particular group. It's a great way to make friends, get closer to folks here at Trinity, and get support when going through hard times. Groups meet on different days of the week, depending on the schedules of the members. Some groups are meeting at church or in homes while others meet virtually. Let's find one that works for you and your preferences. To get connected to a Bible Study small group, please contact us!
