High School Summer Bible Study

Wednesdays, 2-3:30pm (June 5-August 7)

So what’s with Jesus anyway? What in the Gospels is there for teenagers? What makes the Gospels pivotal to the entire Bible? This Bible study will help students explore Jesus’ ministry and help them to see how timely and relevant the life of Christ really is to them. There will be games, skits, simulations, videos and discussions as we dig into the Gospels to explore Jesus’ ministry.


Junior High Summer Bible Study

Thursdays, 10-11:30am (June6-August 8)

Teenagers with a firm faith foundation, who know what they believe and why, aren’t easily

swayed by others who might challenge their faith. This summer, we want to continue to

build on that foundation for our students. We will look at some of the most important Bible lessons

like who is God, who is Jesus, and why do we need a Savior; why does life hurt; and why should we

tell our faith stories. There will be hands-on learning activities, lots of digging into Scripture,

discussions and more.
