The single topic format insures that no one will be lost or feel behind during the study, and will feel welcome and encouraged to attend at any time. Bibles will be provided and utilized each week. Providing historical context to the scriptural message, and modern application of His word, the Bible will “Come Alive,” and show that God has been working throughout history, and is still working today out of love for His people.

Description:
Ever notice that many churches are designed as a cross? Ever wonder where the liturgy came from?  The Christian church over many centuries has built a beautiful mosaic of traditions and meanings behind what makes a church unique from anything else in the secular world. We’ll go through the history, the why, and the meaning behind what we experience every Sunday.

Who Is Welcome?
