Midweek Bible Study

Midweek Bible Study

In the middle of the week, step away from the hustle and bustle of city life and find renewal in God’s Word. Connect with friends on our Zoom Bible study as Pastor Michelle leads us through the Gospel of John. Together, we’ll explore the life and teachings of Jesus, uncovering fresh insights into His character, love, and mission. This is more than just study—it’s a time to grow deeper in faith, build authentic community, and strengthen our walk with Christ. Whether you are new to Scripture or have been studying for years, you’ll find a welcoming space to ask questions, share experiences, and discover the richness of God’s Word in community.

Sessions will run on Zoom every Tuesday at 7pm starting on October 28 - December 16, 2025. Request a copy of N.T. Wright’s Gospel of John Bible Study Guide by emailing operations@adventhope.org.
