The Book of Romans:
Location: Fellowship Hall
Teachers: Dan Anthony, Adam Davidson (Fall only), Lindy Davidson, and Stan McMahan, Tim Rice

Romans has been called the most influential of all New Testament writings, if not of the whole Bible. In it, we find the most systematic and thorough presentation of the Good News of God’s plan, power and purpose to save his people in his Son, Jesus Christ. This in-depth study will cover the entire book over 34 weeks (Fall ‘11-Spring ‘12) with a particular focus on how God and his Love and Grace are revealed and offered to all who will believe.

The class format will be an upfront presentation with limited discussion. All ages are welcome.
