Youth Bible Study

The Chop Chop Bible Study is where we help make the ageless truths of Bible relatable to our youth. Weekly we “Chop it up” (discuss and dialogue) about current events and the Scripture. We take the truth of the text and “chop it up” (break it down) into digestible bite sized pieces to aid our understanding. We call this “digging the doctrine.”

Schedule: Wednesdays, 6:30 – 7:30 P.M.
