ADULT BIBLE STUDIES

Knox Presbyterian Church is committed to God's Word. We encourage you to take time during the week to study the Bible; it helps us understand God's character, but more importantly, it’s the most powerful tool for shaping God-like character within us. 

Bible study brings depth to our journey with Christ. Our classes allow you to journey in faith with others who are seeking out Biblical truth and how it applies to everyday life. 

Some classes involve homework, while others do not. Classes are open for all who are interested, no matter what your previous experience is in studying the Bible. You can join a study at any time.

When was the last time you thought about the way you lived your life? Do you live it for God? Or under God? Or maybe even over God? This book is dedicated to getting you to begin to live your life with God. You will evaluate the way you were brought to Christ and what kind of teaching you are receiving on Sundays as you read through this book. You will reconsider the attitude you have towards God. This is an excellent book for evaluating where you are in your relationship with God, and how you can live life with Him.   Contact Sue Curry with questions.
