34 Weeks: September 3rd – May 27th
Tuesdays, 6-8 pm
Storm Shelter
Disciple 1 is a 34-week course in which participants read and study the Bible in small, committed groups for the purposes of learning and transformation. The study surveys both the Old and New Testaments as participants deepen their awareness of the whole biblical story and have the opportunity to discuss and learn more about how God calls us to respond to that story today.

Episodes of Grace Podcast
Do you want to engage in Bible study but maybe you don’t have the time to come for a class? Check out this new podcast. Listen to weekly episodes on your commute while doing chores, or even at work. Submit your questions and reflections to be a part of the conversation.
Our first five weeks will explore the book of Jonah. This story of a stubborn prophet and a stubborn God is a classic Sunday school story that can shed light on what this grace thing is all about.
Over the next 11 weeks, we will look at the Epistle of James. James’ letter addresses how followers of Jesus are called to live out that faith in their everyday lives. These lessons are still relevant as we struggle with how to use our wealth and our words, face trials and temptations, resist the urge to pick favorites and much more.
