Why Have a Bible Study?
Who are we? What do we believe? Why do exist? How do we grow in our faith or deepen our relationship with God?
We may call ourselves Christians but how much do we really know about our faith? Learning is an important part of one’s Christian journey. Rev. Cheryl had offered a number of short-term (4- to 6-week) studies on different aspects of faith. Below are some which were pre-recorded and uploaded to YouTube and our Facebook page(s).
