Nov 1: Overview of the New Testament
Do you find the Bible intimidating? Scary? Overcome those fears in 4 weeks with Greg Wyss in Bible 101.
Bible 101 is intended for Bible neophytes and new Christians. Therefore, no background is needed (years ago we said that if you you pick up a book and can identify that it may be a Bible, you're qualified). ALL sincere questions are welcome. The objective is to give students enough basic Bible knowledge and resources that they can overcome their fear and even start reading the Bible on their own!
Please bring a PAPER Bible to class - If you don't have one, one will be provided for you. While homework during the week is not required, it is encouraged.
Sign up in the Centrum or contact the church office for more information: 505-296-0762.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD: Here Now & Forever
Spring 2025
Our class Youtube Playlist can be found here.
