Sunday Bible Study

Take advantage of what UBC has to offer you!  We have a wonderful lineup of Bible Study groups that meet at 9:45on Sunday mornings and are followed by fellowship and refreshments in Heaver Hall.  Our Bible study program offers in-depth and extended study of scriptural and topical issues in a small group setting. Nursery care is offered during this time, as well as classes for grade school children, youth, and college students.  Following is a description of classes offered for you to peruse and choose one to attend next week!

Through the Bible (Teacher: Bryan Beverly, Meets in the Parlor)

This class is an in-depth study of individual books of the Bible.  Enrich your personal Bible study with knowledge acquired in this class!  Explore important issues about each book, such as, authorship, background, purpose, and historical context and then delve into the structure and meaning of each book.  This class is in a lecture format, with plenty of time for questions and discussion.  They are currently studying the book of Colossians.

Hope/Emmaus Road (Teacher:  Rose Johnson, Meets in the Lloyd Conference Room)

This lively women’s study through the devotional publication, Smyth and Helwys Formation Literature, is sure to raise your spirits!  This group of women brings several faith and denominational perspectives to this fun study of important scriptural studies.  This is primarily a discussion format lead by Rose, complete with an official segment of jokes and poetry reading!

Books of the Bible Study (Facilitator:  Susanne Emory, Meets in the classroom next to Heaver Hall)

Would you like to “walk through the Bible” with other journeymen at your side?  Then this is the class for you.  This group reads through the scriptures, verse by verse, and shares with each other their insights.  Guided by an initial study of the structure and background of the book, including the geography that the book moves through, this gentle format will enrich your understanding of scripture, and augment your abilities to study the Bible on your own.

Contemporary Christian Issues (Teachers:  Robin Anderson and Mary Anne Smith, Meets in a McCormick Center classroom)

Are you interested in discussing important issues facing Christians today with other believers?  This class will give you a chance to hear many perspectives from a diverse set of backgrounds, and let your voice be heard.  Robin leads the group through a series of topical discussions, complimented by scriptural references and her research into how other insightful Christians have dealt with the issues.  You won’t leave without something to think about until the next class!

Tired students lounge on comfy couches as Marty leads students though a book of the Bible.  This is a time for students to grow in Biblical knowledge through teaching and discussion while enjoying fellowship in a relaxed setting.

Jerald, an experienced High School teacher, uses the Smyth and Helwys curriculum Intersection to connect with teenagers in a meaningful way.  This topical study time helps foster spiritual growth and prepares students to make the tough decisions they face everyday in light of God’s word.
