Crucified with Christ: A 5-Week Study of Galatians

Nearly half of the New Testament was authored by one man: Paul. Writing from the unique perspective of a Jewish-Christian missionary to a Gentile world (i.e. the Roman Empire), Paul laid the groundwork for how Christians of every age have thought about the God we worship as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. His letter to the churches in Galatia, written to help those fledgling Christian communities navigate difficult questions about the authority of Torah (“the Law”) for Gentile believers, is an excellent launch pad not only for understanding the content of Christian faith but the history of the apostolic church as well.

Led by Pastor Josh, this 5-week Bible Study will meet on Mondays from 5/6 - 6/10 (no Memorial Day meeting) in the Allred Center with the option to attend register for a 2:00 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. start time. Click image or click here to register.
