This summer at Bethel, we invite you to grow deeper in your walk with Christ by learning how to read and understand His Word more faithfully. As part of our emphasis on Discipleship, we’re offering a Wednesday night class focused on interpreting Scripture with clarity, confidence, and joy.

Whether you’re new to Bible study or have been reading it for years, this class is designed to help you better grasp the meaning of Scripture in its context and apply it to your life. Our goal is not just to gain knowledge, but to grow as disciples as we learn to love God even better through faithful study of His Word.

We’ll be walking through How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth by Gordon Fee & Douglas Stuart. Suggested readings are listed each week (in parentheses), but you’re welcome to come even if you don’t complete them. Bethel Kidz activities will continue the whole summer, so bring the whole family!
