Adult Bible Study

Bible Study is held on Zoom Wednesday evenings at 7:00pm. We have time to catch up and chat from 7:00-7:15, study from 7:15-8:00 and close with Compline or Vespers. All are Welcome! Each Bible Study is interdisciplinary in nature — including art, architecture, music and history as well as textual analysis.

 

Current Study: Genesis – Join us as we read through Genesis together, focusing on partnerships and relationships. This is an interdisciplinary study featuring artwork, music and poetry alongside scripture to inform our discussion. 

Coming up: Stay tuned for our next study coming up in January 2023
