Jesus and Me Class
Lessons with the pastor according to your schedule.
The Bible is about Jesus. It’s also about us. At its core the Bible is about God’s work to restore us to himself in Jesus.
Jesus and Me is a thirteen-lesson course on the chief teachings of the Bible. At the center of all of them is Jesus and us.
This course serves as the path to membership at Living Hope. It’s also a favorite of many members for reviewing the Bible’s teaching and growing in faith.
The next course will begin the first week of May! Check out the interest form further down this page.
