Family Bible Hour
Purpose of Family Bible Hour
The Family Bible Hour ministry desires to equip the church (3rd grade and above) to handle and apply God’s Word for themselves in pursuit of godly living. We have classes for all ages during the Fall and Spring semesters each year. Our FBH is unique in that all of the classes study the same text in age appropriate ways to help foster conversations around the Word at home.
Our Framework
Family Bible Hour (FBH) aims to serve the church by teaching bible lessons highlighting the following framework.
Bible Literacy
Our Bible lessons will provide context to how a particular passage of Scripture fits into the complete narrative of the Bible.
Theological Clarity
Our Bible lessons will reveal how a particular passage of Scripture contributes to major theological doctrines, emphasizing what it tells us about God and how we relate to Him.
Spiritual Formation
Our Bible lessons will encourage and provide opportunities to practice major spiritual disciples like, prayer, worship, bible reading, and bible study during and in preparation for each lesson.
Spring Study
The Bible is made up of 66 books, over 40 different authors, and written over a span of thousands of years. Yet, the Bible has one divine author and reveals himself and his plan to mankind through the sacred writings we call, The Bible. This study will consider how the Bible is one unifying story around the suffering and glory of the Messiah. In addition to reviewing historical narrative of the Bible, this study will review unifying themes that are found throughout the Scripture and affirm the beauty of Scripture.
