St. Stephen's Adult Faith
you are welcome here
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness
2 Timothy 3:16
Ever wonder what exactly is in the Bible? Come join a group who wrestles with the text and hopes to be blessed in the process. Absolutely no experience with the Bible is necessary. All questions are welcome ‐ nothing is off limits! Fun for those who are new to the Bible and for those who have depended on the Word of God for all their lives. We meet every Wednesday at 10 am in the Bishop Emrich Lounge.
No Experience Necessary Bible Study

St. Stephen's seeks to be...
A faith community where both reverence and fun are valued.
A community of learners with wisdom to share as opposed to a hierarchy of experts in search of students to instruct.
St. Stephen's shares an awareness that the Gospel challenges as will as comforts, and involves a shared and often difficult journey.
