In today's fast-paced world, finding time for spiritual growth can be a challenge. Many people seek a deeper connection with their faith but may not know where to start. At CSC, we offer a variety of Bible study opportunities designed to help you engage with your faith in meaningful ways. Whether you are a seasoned believer or just starting your journey, there is something for everyone.

Why Bible Study Matters

Bible study is more than just reading scripture. It is an opportunity to explore the teachings of the Bible, understand its context, and apply its lessons to our daily lives. Engaging with the Bible can lead to personal growth, stronger relationships, and a deeper understanding of God’s purpose for us.

Benefits of Bible Study

Spiritual Growth: Regular study helps deepen your relationship with God.
Community Connection: Joining a study group fosters friendships and support.
Practical Application: Learning how to apply biblical principles to everyday situations.
Increased Knowledge: Understanding the historical and cultural context of the Bible enriches your faith.

Bible Study Groups at CSC

At CSC, we offer a variety of Bible study groups that cater to different interests and schedules. Here are some of the options available:

Weekly Group Studies

Our weekly group studies are a great way to dive into scripture with others. Each group focuses on a specific book of the Bible or a particular theme.

Example: The "Gospel of John" group meets every Wednesday evening. Participants explore the life of Jesus and discuss how His teachings apply today.
Example: The "Psalms and Prayer" group meets on Thursday mornings. This group focuses on the power of prayer and worship through the Psalms.

Themed Bible Studies

Themed studies allow participants to explore specific topics in depth. These studies often last for a few weeks and are perfect for those with busy schedules.

Example: "Faith and Finances" is a six-week study that examines biblical principles related to money management.
Example: "Finding Peace in a Chaotic World" is a four-week study that explores how faith can help us navigate life's challenges.

Online Bible Studies

For those who prefer to study from home, we offer online Bible study options. These virtual groups provide flexibility and convenience.

Example: The "Women of the Bible" online study meets every Tuesday evening. Participants discuss the lives of influential women in scripture and their relevance today.
Example: The "Men's Fellowship" online study focuses on building strong character through biblical teachings.

Special Events and Workshops

In addition to regular Bible study groups, CSC hosts special events and workshops throughout the year. These events provide unique opportunities for learning and fellowship.

Annual Bible Conference

Our annual Bible conference features guest speakers, workshops, and breakout sessions. This event is designed to inspire and equip participants to engage with their faith more deeply.

Example: Last year’s conference included sessions on "Understanding the Old Testament" and "Living Out Your Faith in the Workplace."

Seasonal Workshops

Seasonal workshops focus on specific themes or topics relevant to the time of year. These workshops are often interactive and encourage participation.

Example: A "Lenten Reflection" workshop helps participants prepare their hearts for Easter through scripture and prayer.
Example: A "Back-to-School" workshop offers biblical insights for students and parents navigating the school year.

Resources for Personal Study

In addition to group studies, CSC provides resources for personal Bible study. These resources can help you grow in your faith at your own pace.

Online Resources

There are many online resources available for personal Bible study. Websites, apps, and podcasts can enhance your understanding of scripture.
