Studying the Bible in Context
We believe that it is the privilege and responsibility of every believer in Christ to study the Bible as faithfully and accurately as possible. We place a high emphasis on proper biblical hermeneutics, using context, exegesis, and text-driven preaching to support our growth in knowledge and devotion to Christ. This page will include tools and resources to help you read the Scriptures in context!
