Biblical Studies

St. Martin’s continues its long history of biblical studies by offering several opportunities to meet weekly with a group to read the scriptures together. All are welcome. There is no homework and Bibles are provided. These small groups offer a process of reading and discussing the Bible guided by open-ended questions. Bringing the Word to life through thoughtful conversation provides unlimited possibilities for discovery.
