Bible Studies

Faith formation is a crucial part of Hope’s ministries. In his Small Catechism, the namesake of our tradition, Martin Luther, charged the church to “gladly hear and learn” the Word of God. We study the Bible not just to stockpile information, but to become more open to God’s redeeming work for the sake of our lives and our witness. We study so that we might be conformed to the image of God in Christ Jesus. Our Bible Studies are open to everyone, and you can join at any time.

    This topical study follows material produced by Gather, the magazine of women of the ELCA. It focuses on biblical themes like “faithfulness” and “spiritual gifts” and weaves theological reflections together with personal stories. The Gather study typically meets at the church, though the location is subject to change.

    Through 2025-2026 we are reading the entire Bible in order from Genesis to Revelation. There’s no better way to understand the life and ministry of Jesus than to see him in the light of the Jewish Law and Prophets. Participants can join the reading group as they are able.
