Biblical Studies & Theology
This class will be a continuation of my previous How to Study the Bible Class while adding in some new material about studying God’s word. There is so much to learn when we read God’s word and I want to help equip our young people with as many tools and resources as I can to help them be successful. In this class we will still work on how to study the Bible (even if you’ve taken the class before, there will be new material), we will learn about how to pray (a lot of kids are very intimidated or don’t know what to say when they pray), we will dive into some theology and also different ways to research and study. I want to help encourage our kids and show them that God’s word doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or confusing and with the right tools and information in hand they can begin to build a deeper, stronger relationship with God.
​
SUPPLIES NEEDED:
-
They can bring their bible if they want to, but I will always have printouts of whatever scripture we are covering if they don’t want to/forget it
-
a notebook
