Bible lessons will be based around the basics of Christianity and non-threatening strategies for interacting with non-Christians.Objectives
- Foster friendships; get deeper
- Develop disciples through modeling, teaching, encouraging sharing
- Welcome visitors and non-Christians
- Remain under 8 people, but if reach 10, split the group into two
Lessons will follow this format:
- Introductory question and discussion
- Examination of the Biblical text(s)—inductively and deductively
- Discussion around implications revealed in the text
