Adult Faith Connections Bible Study is a Bible study exposition written by pastors, leaders, and scholars to help group members go deeper in God's Word during and after the lesson. Each week, group members will gain a greater understanding of the focus passage, as well as have the opportunity to answer reflective questions to help them take time to consider the message of that week's session.

Each quarter features an in-depth look at a different piece of scripture, with a group discussion facilitated by a church member. Attendees are not required to read the selected scripture and commentary in advance. We also don't require advance registration, commitment to attend, or the purchase of any materials. Your level of involvement is up to you!

Adult Bible study meetings are Sunday mornings at 9:00, lasting about 30 minutes, before becoming our informal fellowship time before church. Please plan to join us to deepen your knowledge of the Word.

Our fall 2024 curriculum features the ways the book of Daniel speaks to the challenges believers face today and examine God’s sovereignty and faithfulness from the book of Esther.

Unit 1: Challenges for Faithful Followers (Daniel)

During this study, we will explore the ways the book of Daniel speaks to the challenges believers face in a world that is hostile toward God’s kingdom.

Unit 2: God in the Shadow (Esther)

Esther found herself in a position of power at a crucial time in Israel’s history. In this unit, we’ll celebrate God’s sovereignty and His faithfulness to His people as He calls a young woman to give hope to His people in their time of need.
