Adult Bible and Faith Study

at Holy Cross

“Come join the discussions with your questions!”

Several opportunities for Adult Bible and Faith Study are offered throughout the week at the Church of the Holy Cross.  Each opportunity to learn is designed for open participation, and no previous preparation is needed other than the general life experience you already have.  Each session can stand alone; however, the study usually follows a theme or Book of the Bible and is based on shared understanding of the text or material.

You can “drop-in” for any session and gain from the discussion.
