Bible Study
We grow in our Christian faith through studying the Word of God as he reveals it in the Holy Scriptures. Join us for classes at St. Peter's throughout the week. Classes are at varying times to accommodate different schedules. Most classes run for 4-8 week sessions to provide opportunities to study different topics.
1 Thessalonians - A Model for the Christian and Congregation
Sundays 8:45 - 9:45 a.m. (beginning September 8, 2024)
Is it possible for the Christian faith to survive and thrive in a world that’s indifferent at best and hostile at worst? What does such a faith look like – at home, at work, and in the community? And what kind of church does it take to sustain that vision?
St. Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians helps us with questions like these. He writes to strengthen the early believers’ faith in Jesus. In a godless society, St. Paul helps them ‘to serve the living and true God’ (1:9) – where holiness is not withdrawal from the world but involvement in it in a new way, marked by faith, love, and hope.
What you will take home:
Strength to face the challenges of living your faith and peace knowing that all rests in Jesus hands.

Lifestyle Witnessing
Beginning Sunday, November 17 at 8:45 am
“I wish I could share Jesus.”
“I wish I was better equipped to talk about Jesus.”
“How can I better seize the opportunities to talk to my family and friends about Jesus?”
“Christmas is coming and I want to invite my friend to church, but how?”
A couple years ago, St. Peter’s participated in a self-assessment of our ministry. One of the areas that participants requested was training in sharing Jesus with others. This study helps to accomplish that goal. With the Christmas season upon us, this study will help you to share Jesus with your family and friends, as well as invite them to Christmas Worship with you.
What you will learn:
This study will encourage you and help you to share Jesus.
What you will take home:
Excitement!! Excited at being a child of God and equipped to share the gospel with your family members, neighbors and co-workers.
