About the Bible Study

Clergy Led
Small Groups - optional
The Rev. Lisa Saunders and The Rev. Chip Edens will be our primary teachers and we will welcome Davis Kuykendall from Search Ministries as a guest teacher. We will use an exegetical (involves an extensive and critical interpretation of a holy text) and devotional approach to Bible Study. We critically look at the text, examine what the text is saying and then look at what the scripture is saying in our lives. Contact Jenny Beaumont 704-714-6945 or beaumontj@christchurchcharlotte.org with questions.
