BIBLE STUDY & DESCIPLESHIP
A Typical Learning Hour Class
Courses range from a half dozen to fifty people, and some have a video component while others rely on group discussion or the main speaker. Leaders and participants are generally friendly and would love to have you join them no matter how much you do or don’t know about the Bible.
Why a Learning Hour?
Christ called His followers to know the truth that would set them free, and the Bible repeatedly warns us not to fall prey to teaching that is attractive but empty. The Learning Hour feeds our minds and hearts on goodness and truth, helping us to better understand our faith and better resist the many things that would pull us away from the Gospel. Spending time together in God’s Word is also a great way to develop deeper friendships.

EXPLORING OUR FAITH
INTERESTED IN STARTING THE NEW SESSION?
Contact Pastor Maske at dmaske@mightymessengers.org
Jesus teaches us wherever we go, and discipleship truly extends beyond the classroom and sanctuary into every part of a Christian’s life. Here are a few opportunities to consider at SMLC:
Small Groups - Small Groups are where faith can be formed and put to use in an informal, caring community. Studying the Bible and talking about what matters, these groups have a variety of different meeting times, locations, and specialties. For more information, visit the Small Groups page.
Other Conferences - Our church’s members attend several conferences throughout the year, including Luther Hostel, the Michigan District Theological Conference, and others. Contact the church office for details.
