In Person Class
Room 124 @ 10:15am – 11:15am
Led by John Reisig
Description:
In this study, each Sunday offers a single stand alone topic. The material covered each week will provide a meaningful experience for regular participants, visitors to Trinity Downtown, and for those simply looking to get back into a routine of attending Bible study. The single topic format insures that no one will be lost or feel behind during the study, and will feel welcome and encouraged to attend at any time. Bibles will be provided and utilized each week. Providing historical context to the scriptural message, and modern application of His word, the Bible will “Come Alive,” and show that God has been working throughout history, and is still working today out of love for His people.

Room 206 @ 10:15am – 11:15am
Led by Mike and Katherine Gilmore
Description:
The Apostle Paul, armed with the Holy Spirit, a tenacious persistence, and a quill, utterly changed the world. His letters comprise nearly half of the New Testament and have laid the foundation for Christianity as we know it. Following the history laid out for us by Luke (one of his traveling companions) in the book of Acts, we will journey with Paul throughout the Mediterranean World and examine how the gospel spread across cultures and regions. By reading his Epistles to early churches, we’ll uncover practical wisdom, theological depth, and encouragement for living out our faith today.
