Have you ever started reading the Bible and wondered, ‘Why is it full of violence?’ ‘Why would God do/say that?’ How do we reconcile what is in the Bible with what it means for us today? This class is for anyone with questions about the Bible, God, or faith. It is for anyone who is comfortable with the Bible, God, or faith. It is, truly, for anyone.

In our 7 sessions, we will use the book and video series from author and theologian Pete Enns. “The Bible Tells Me So chronicles Enns’s spiritual odyssey, how he came to see beyond restrictive doctrine and learned to embrace God’s Word as it is actually written.”

Copies of the book will be ordered by the church upon registration. Books are $17, and you can pay by cash or check. Please bring your payment for the book to the first class.

Sign up now to join Pastor Amy on Mondays at 11:30 (in person) or 6:30 (online) for The Bible Tells Me So. Classes will be 60-90 minutes long.
