About
We exist to bring Glory to God by Making Disciples of Christ. And we seek to be a blessing by loving our Neighbors. One of the ways we seek to do this is by teaching every single word. This means that we do not treat God's Word like a self-help book, a get rich quick scheme, or a capstone on the American Dream. Our goal is to teach Scripture line by line, in it's textual and cultural context. Taking every precaution to avoid seeing the sacred texts through the lens of a twenty first century westerner. Not destructing the faith of the hearers, but reforming it to the truth revealed by the breath of God. Over time we will walk through, Lord willing, the entire book of Genesis, the Gospel of John, 2 Timothy, and with the Lord's help all 66 books over time.
