Learn & Grow: Sundays at 9:15 am

This fall, Learn & Grow is going to take 12 weeks to look at the New Testament. Using The Great Courses class on the New Testament with lecturer Professor Bart D. Ehrman, each week we will watch a 30-minute lecture and then discuss what we have heard. In the 12 weeks we will spend on this, we’ll learn historical and contextual background for the New Testament, spend time with the four canonical Gospels, discuss the noncanonical gospels, and look at the historical Jesus.  Join us at 9:15 on Sundays (starting this Sunday, September 4th) to deepen your understanding of the New Testament.
