Pastor’s Bible Study

Spring 2018

Creed: Walking Through the Apostles’ Creed

Synopsis:As followers of Jesus we have a rich heritage of faith that has developed over many centuries. One of the foundational articles of our faith is the Apostles’ Creed that was developed in the late 4th century.

This spring, our Pastor’s Bible Study will be walking through this historic statement of our faith’s basic principles and learning how to apply its foundational truths. Each week, we will look at a phrase of the Apostles’ Creed and study its biblical foundations, historical settings, and every day applications for our lives and ministry.
