The Chosen Bible Study-Season 1
2026-02-25 10:00 - 12:00, 2026-03-04 10:00 - 12:00
Join us this coming January of 2026 as we dig deeper into this popular series that brings the Bible stories to life in a whole new way! Being chosen by Jesus has beautiful and far-reaching implications — we are loved because He is love. We are saved because He is merciful. We belong to the family of God because Jesus invites us, making the Bible and all its promises as true for us today as it was for God’s chosen people.
What does it actually mean to be chosen?
To answer that question, we are going old school — testament that is — which leads us back to the New Testament and directly to Jesus.

Imagine experiencing them for the very first time, and realizing that Jesus is a real person who really suffered and died for you and for me so that we can have eternal life.
