Christian souls need to be nourished and motivated by the Word of God from cradle to grave.
Bible study is the Lord's way of speaking to us, strengthening our faith and helping us through difficult times. Bible study unlocks the secrets of God and motivates us to worship and serve him.
Bible study at St. Paul is fun and informative. It's edifying and encouraging. One thing it's not: scary. No one will call on you to read or answer a question unless you raise your hand. Your level of participation is up to you. You can read, answer questions, and offer comments. Or you can simply sit, listen, and soak it all in. You don't need to be a Bible expert. No previous Bible study experience is necessary. Please give us the opportunity to show you how wonderful studying God's Word with fellow Christians can be!
Bible Studies and Sunday School are offered September through May.
Sunday Adult Bible Study
Bible class is an important part of Sunday morning at St. Paul. Each Sunday at 9:15am we begin a group study of a scriptural topic. Sometimes we study a whole book of the Bible over a few weeks. Sometimes we consider a topical approach to the Word. Other times we consider subjects that connect us with God’s church and mission. No matter what the topic, God promises that he will strengthen our faith through his Word. Take him up on the promise and join us for Bible class this Sunday.

Sundays at 9:15am in the Fellowship Hall (also livestreamed)

Sunday School
Sundays at 9:15am in the Gym
Contact: Evan Korthals
All kids age 3K – 5th grade are welcome! Every week we will teach one of the core Bible stories about God and his grace, and mix in plenty of fun! Drop off and pick up at the gym.
Everything we say and do in Sunday school is designed to focus our attention on Jesus so that both students and teachers grow in Christian faith and godly living. Children who attend Sunday school will learn key stories from the entire Bible and also learn Bible verses they will remember for a lifetime, coming to them at times of need as they walk through life.
Sunday Youth Bible Study
Sundays at 9:15am in the 7th Grade Classroom
Contact: Kristie Kasbohm
Teens (grades 6th and up) … you’re growing up and are probably realizing there are a lot things you’re going to face in this world. Each week we will tackle a real life issue, all while having a good time with kids your own age. Guests and visitors are always welcome.
The goal of our youth group at St. Paul is to give our high school youth and those about to enter high school an opportunity to study God's Word, to enjoy Christian fellowship with each other, and to find opportunities as a group to serve others. It's important that we help our teens set a pattern for faith and godly living as they grow and mature.

Book Discussion
Sundays (once per month) at 7:00pm in the Church Gathering Area
Contact: Pastor Nass
Jacob is a trickster, liar, and selfishly ambitious man who fathers children with four women and leads a dysfunctional family rife with jealousy and backstabbing. But Jacob is also Israel, the namesake of the Old Testament community of God, chosen and blessed. As such, this sinner-saint, who limps along with the Lord, burdened by weakness and beset by problems, is the mirror image of all of us who follow Jesus. Join us at 7:00pm on November 16th to discuss Limping with God: Jacob & The Old Testament Guide to Messy Discipleship by Chad Bird. Click here to buy a copy.
