DESCRIPTION

Second Timothy 3:16–17 sets a high standard for training in gospel ministry. Even so, the Word of God is more than capable to equip every person for this magnificent work. That is because the Bible is God's Word to man, and is powerful to accomplish what it has set out to do. As men and women who love the truth, we want to invest as much time and energy as possible into understanding God's Word and equipping ourselves to live it everyday.

Please join us for two 8-hour days to take a deeper tour into the Bible from Dr. Steve Swartz and Jay Street. This year's topics will cover the first five books of the Bible—the Pentateuch—and the book of Romans. Please also join us for our Sunday morning worship to conclude a wonderful weekend around God's Word.
