Adult Education and Christian Formation

Bible Study

The scriptures are central to our worship service and to our personal spiritual lives. Trinity is blessed with four different weekly opportunities for bible study. These groups differ in either course structure or in membership, but all provide a friendly and appoachable way to involve oneself in scripture.

All of our study groups are appropriate for beginners; don't be shy! As Episcopalians our approach is not to "tell you what the bible says" but rather to engage you in reading and interpreting these powerful texts yourself. Your life experience, an inquisitive mind and an open heart are the only tools you'll need to uncover the richness of our sacred books. That and the company of fellow students. An under-appreciated benefit of weekly bible study is the good friendships you'll find when you share your journey through the scriptures.
