Join College Ministries for Bible Study
A Bible study is a fun way to gather with others to reflect on the Word of God, gain a deeper understanding of Scripture, and strengthen your faith. Please join us at 12:30 p.m. on Thursdays in Marty’s (Union) as we focus on the Gospel of Matthew. Bring a Bible – we have extras if you need one. All students, faculty, and staff are welcome. Join us!
