The mission of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) is global, in-depth Bible studies producing passionate commitment to Christ, His Word and His Church. Our vision is to magnify God and mature His people. The BSF format involves a “four-fold approach”: reading a Scripture passage and answering personal study questions, engaging in group discussion, listening to a teaching lecture on the passage, and reviewing written commentary notes; essentially, a combination of individual reflection, group sharing, and guided instruction on a specific Bible section each week, allowing for deep exploration of the text.

Men’s BSF meets each Monday evening through May 5, 2025 from 6:45 to 8:15 pm in the Timothy Chapel.  

To register in advance, go here, enter your email address and a password, and click “Create an Account”.  You will then be contacted by one of our staff.  Or, if you prefer, men can just show up on Monday night and will be place into a group.  There is no fee to join.

Are you new to faith in Jesus, or do you have questions about following Jesus that you haven’t had the right opportunity to ask?

David and Sue James are leading this new group beginning Jan. 19th for anyone looking for a safe space to talk about how to follow Jesus. More of a conversation than a class, this group will explore topics such as how to pray, how to enjoy reading the Bible, and how to orient your lifestyle towards the way of Jesus. And there will always be space to process the sermon you just heard or other things that are on your mind as you grow in your faith along the way.

Join us for our most-recommended spiritual formation course!

Two thousand years ago, Jesus said to his disciples, “follow me.” But what does it mean for us to follow Jesus today? The Practicing the Way Course is an on ramp to spiritual formation, exploring what it means to follow Jesus and live a life of apprenticeship to him.

The class will enjoy teachings by John Mark Comer and other voices about apprenticing under Jesus, spiritual formation, healing from sin, meeting God in pain, crafting a Rule of Life, living in community, and more.

We’ll have the opportunity to develop friendships as we enjoy great conversation about what we’re learning. We’ll process our experiences through the weekly practices and exercises that will help integrate what we’re learning.

There is no cost to attend the class. We’ll provide a detailed workbook for you on the first day. Meets in the Middle School  Room at 9am.

Join us to explore the spiritual practice of fasting.

Fasting is one of the most essential and powerful of all the practices of Jesus and yet, arguably, the single most neglected one in the modern, Western church. The Fasting Practice will train you in this ancient discipline, integrating your whole body into life with God. You will be invited to fast over the course of this 4-week experience, but you have complete freedom to determine the parameters of what is healthy for you to attempt.

This class, led by Phil Albu and Barb Zinser, will meet weekly starting January 19, in the Edwards Room.

Join us, starting on February 16th for the newest class from Practicing the Way! This 4-week class will help us develop a regular practice of spending meaningful time in God’s Word.

What we learn will help us to engage deeply with Scripture for formation, rather than to ingest information. The four weeks will focus on:

Supporting materials from The Bible Project add even more to the class, and Eugene Peterson’s Eat This Book is recommended reading (available at Christos, though not required).

This weekly class, open to all, revels in working slowly through Scripture, one section at a time. Throughout 2025, the teaching team will take us through the Gospel of Matthew, beginning with some overview lessons on January 26th and chapter 1 on February 23rd. 

There is a Zoom option for anyone not able to attend regularly or occasionally in-person.  

Registration will ensure that you are included on the weekly email with the teacher’s study notes and Zoom link, and visitors are always welcome.
