Adult Ministry:
Bible Studies
In a large congregation like Church of the Servant, people can feel lost in the crowd. Getting involved in areas like Bible studies or other ministry areas can quickly downsize this large church into a close community.
There are many Bible study classes beginning this September to help you further your journey with Christ. If you would like to talk with someone, feel free to contact Scott Smith, Director of Discipleship.
- Disciple I (Sunday afternoons, 4:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.)
Dates: September 12 – November 21

“Becoming Disciples through Bible Study”, is an overview of both the Old and New Testaments. Over the course of twenty weeks of study, you will not only gain information that will help you understand your Bible, you will begin to see how God’s Word can transform your life.
- Disciple II (Sunday afternoons, 4:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.)
Dates: September 19 – November 21

books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Luke and Acts. This study will take you deeper into the Scripture. This is the next step for those who have taken Disciple I.
- Jesus in the Gospels (Sunday afternoons, 4:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.)
Dates: September 19 – November 21
Room: North Adult, Room 3
Leader: Dr. Robyn Goggs
Summary:
“Jesus in the Gospels” invites believers to look at Jesus in each of the four Gospels and ask the question, “Who is the Jesus that you see?” This study will deepen discipleship through better understanding of the biblical texts and their message. Two questions frame this study: “Who is the Jesus you bring with you to this study?” and “Who is the Jesus you take with you from this study?” JESUS IN THE GOSPELS takes participants on a journey from one question to the other.
- Invitation to Romans (Sunday afternoons, 4:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.)
Dates: September 12 – November 21
Room: North Adult, Rooms 10-11
Leaders: Todd and Andi Neaves.
Summary:
“Invitation to Romans” is a study which invites us into conversation
around several key themes: (1) Paul’s emphasis on communal salvation; (2) the centrality of God’s righteousness; and (3) the relationship between Jews and Gentiles and the relationship of both to God. It is difficult to overstate the importance of Romans in Christian tradition. Some of the great formers and re-formers of church teaching were themselves formed by their reading of Romans. As a result, Paul’s teachings in Romans come to us mediated through the history of the church’s interpretations of his letter.

- Invitation to Psalms (Tuesday afternoons, 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.)
Dates: September 7 – November 23
Room: North Adult, Room 5
Leader: Sandy Gard
Summary:
In the Psalms, the promise of the reign of God meets the historical experience of God’s people. Faith in God’s faithfulness collides with human experiences of pain and suffering, enslavement, oppression, and exile. God’s people—given voice in the Psalms—struggle to make sense of who God is and who they are, and in so doing they have composed a collection of moving testimonies of grace, glory, sorrow, and beauty unmatched in sacred literature. For students of the Psalms today, this study offers greater understanding of how these ancient texts of praise, lament, worship, and prayer can still speak to us and for us.
- The Patriarchs (Tuesday evenings, 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.)
Dates: starting September 28

promise, and the bearing each has on a New Testament believer’s life today. Throughout these ten weeks of exciting, engaging intrigue, participants will plunge into the heart of Genesis, to God’s remarkable pursuit of relationship and to the unfolding of His earthly plan: that through one nation—and ultimately, one man—all people on earth will be blessed.
