  • Develop a passion for knowledge of God through the study of the word.
  • Nurture a perception of our lives as a continual prayer.

THE BIBLE

Christians recognize the Bible as of particular importance in helping them live their lives. The Bible is a collection of writings, written over a period of nearly a millennium, and comprises the Old Testament, - the writings which are common to Christians and Jews – and the New Testament, which contains stories about Jesus (in the four books called the Gospels) and reflections on his life and its meaning by some of his earliest followers. Christians vary in their approaches to the Bible, but all acknowledge its fundamental importance to their faith.
