We Weren’t Created to be Alone.
We believe we need to learn God’s words within the body of Christ. Each one of us knows His words to a degree; however, a group of us could see His revelation and light more thoroughly. The goal of bible study is to associate God’s words with our daily life and to experience that Jesus Christ is the bread of life together.
The Bible is not just for us to keep to ourselves as individuals. It is also useful in helping others. We gain centuries of wisdom and are thus able to help others by studying the Bible. Proverbs, for instance, contain general principles and ideas to assist anyone in living their lives in a way that is helpful and pleasing to God.
We hope you can experience growth in a multitude of ways through one of our Bible Study classes here at Middletown United Methodist Church.
If you would like more information about a bible study class, please contact our Associate Pastor of Discipleship, Nancy Tinnell.
Image Bible Study
Women’s Group – Tuesdays @ 9:30am
Image Bible Study was created to give women the opportunity to study and serve together. The class spectrum ranges from women with years of Bible study experience all the way over to those who are just beginning. This is a time to go deeper into scripture and even have the opportunity to live out your faith through occasional service projects. Curriculum is diverse and made enjoyable through both large group and small group discussion. This Winter, beginning January 18, we will be discussing Shadia Hrichi’s book Hagar: Rediscovering the God Who Sees Me. Order your books at christianbook.com or Amazon. This class will also be offered via Zoom on Tuesdays at 7:00 pm. Click the link below to register.

Men’s Bible Study
Wednesday Nights – 6:30pm
So, why a men’s Bible study? Can a men’s Bible study give a man a better and clearer understanding of the Bible than another type of Bible study? Does a men’s Bible study offer something different or special to a man which he might not otherwise get in a group of women or children? The answer to this question is a resounding YES.
Men have their own set of fears, joys, emotions, and issues. Wisdom tells us to gather together with other men to study how the Bible applies specifically to a man’s heart and life. With our men’s Bible study, you can expect a raw, unassuming atmosphere where you can encounter God’s truth, specifically targeted towards men’s issues.
This Winter, beginning January 19, we will be discussing Max Lucado’s Ten Men of the Bible. Books will be available to pick up in the class. Click the link below to register.
