Bible Study

Looking for more in your life? When you want to grow in both your knowledge of scripture and your life as a disciple of Jesus Christ, look to the Bible. Listed below are our core programs which represent the spiritual guidance that has continued to transform our church and enrich the lives of our participants. See what makes the people of our church smile from inside as well as the outside.

Sisters Bible Study

Wednesdays, 7:15–8:30 p.m. During the fall Sisters will meet on the main level of the church; check the daily directory for the assigned room.  What do Christian women in 2008 have in common with Biblical women like Prisca, Phoebe, Veronica and Miriam? They value friendship.  Join women from the church and community to explore the nature of Biblical and spiritual friendship.

59 Minutes for Men

Saturdays, monthly, 8–8:59 a.m., Panera Restaurant on Evergreen in downtown Arlington Heights through December.
A men’s breakfast, Bible study and fellowship time once a month on Saturday morning. That’s time enough for a light breakfast, good conversation but not so long that it keeps anyone from the soccer, football event or getting the chores done. Lesson materials will be available at the Church Office two weeks before the meeting.

Bible in A Year

  • The Bible has been described as the most revered book never read. In a recent survey, it was revealed that:
  • Less than half of all adult Americans can name the four Gospels of the New Testament.
  • Almost 82 percent of Americans believe “God helps those who help themselves” is a Bible verse.

One in ten adults believe that Joan of Arc was Noah’s wife, and more than half of graduating high school seniors guess that Sodom and Gomorrah were husband and wife. (Those two must have been multiple choice survey questions.)

Many Christians want to do more Bible reading; they even start reading it cover-to-cover and then they get “bogged down” and quit. If that has been your experience – and you would like a positive push to try it (or try it again) – join us this year in The Grand Sweep. We’re reading the Bible, all the way through, from October 2011-October 2012. To help, there is a daily reading guide, providing not only the suggested material for the day but a little background as well. It can be used as an inspiring daily devotional. An optional response book provides weekly sections on “seeing life through scripture.” For those who want to talk about what they’ve read, monthly small groups will be scheduled to gather with others to discuss and receive personal encouragement. Pastor Tedd will lead one of these groups for youth.  For more information, please contact Rev. Lynn Mikels at 847-255-5112.
