Evening Bible Study

The Belle-Terrace
Presbyterian Church, USA’s Wednesday night’s Bible study ministry, grew out of a need to have a program of study
that did not intimidate, threaten or belittle ones level of growth in studying God’s Word. We name this period of study,
“Just Where You Are Bible Study” meaning it is perfectly all right to come, ask questions and request specific
subject matter or topics to be discussed and to see what the Bible has to say about it. All subject matter discussed therefore
comes from the participants.
Recently, we have been studying, The Acts of the Apostle. This topic has launched
us into a course of study that required us to comb the pages of the entire Bible, seeking appropriate scriptures, arranging
topics for class discussion, formulating teams and presenting research from groups, listening to personal experiences and
testimonies has been nothing less than divine. We attempt to limit our study to one hour. Come and join us as we conclude
this revealing period of study. We recognize and dignify each question and each request.
