Study With Us

(Be) clothed...with the new self which is being renewed in knowledge.." -Colossians 3:10

We encourage learning-study of the Bible and of Christian literature, of the arts and sciences, and of current social issues. Through respectful dialog in love, we hope to find in all things signs and clues of God's presence, wisdom, and guidance.

Confirmation (grades 7 and 8)
