Have you signed up for DISCIPLE Bible Study?
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; eight 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.

A Thought: Service and offering your gifts and tithes are a wonderful testimony of your faith. But DISCIPLE bible study is something you do - just for yourself. The knowledge gained is good, but the transformation of your spirit is, indeed, something different and wonderful. Small group association throughout the course of the study is the icing on the cake, as you meet people and get to know them at a deeper level than even service and volunteer work offer. Dr. Stephens and all those who have gone through these courses urge you to become involved in DISCIPLE bible study when it begins again in the fall. You will grow and be glad for the decision. Please feel free to contact the church with questions.
