Scripture Circles offer a transformative way of engaging with the Bible—one that is ancient in its roots and refreshingly new in its rhythm. Together, we gather around the Word, not just to study it, but to listen—deeply—to God, to one another, and to the questions that rise from within.
FAQ:
What is a Scripture Circle?
Scripture Circles are a space where theological curiosity is welcome, mystery is honored, and God still speaks. Scripture Circles are a place to wonder and wrestle—together.
What if I don't know the Bible very well?
This is for ANYONE who wants to know God better, whether you are already familiar with the bible or feel like you don't know much at all. We read and discuss slowly. Every perspective and question adds to the discovery together.
What can I expect?
In a Scripture Circle, the wisdom of the room is honored with each participant bringing their story, questions and insights. The group begins with each individual naming what they've been wrestling with or pondering recently. From there, scripture passages emerge, chosen by the group to explore together. There is a break with refreshments about half-way through. Three hours sounds like a long time but it goes way too fast!
Also expect to:
• Slow down and listen
• See scripture with fresh eyes
• Be challenged, surprised, and deeply moved
• Find renewed connection to God and community
• Bring your favorite bible, a notebook, and writing instrument
