Wednesday Evening Adult Bible Study
Begins January 8, 2025
6PM in Fellowship Hall
Beginning on Wednesday, January 8, the Wednesday adult Bible study will take up a brief survey of church history. Since Calvary is looking at its own history as a part of our 150th Anniversary, we thought it would be helpful to put our story in the context of the larger story of the church. Be warned, however, this will be a brief overview which will cover some 2000 years of history in about eight weeks.
Here is the full schedule:
- Jan. 8 Church History–Overview and Timeline
- Jan 15 The Formative Years: Councils and Events
- Jan 22 The Formative Years: Key Figures
- Jan 29 Reformation
- Feb 5 Development in Europe
- Feb 12 The Church in America
- Feb 19 Baptist History
- Feb 26 Global Christianity
