Bs 400 Bible Survey, Mark J. Hatcher

Syllabi

We will be working through the Bible together, becoming acquainted with its narratives, instructions, prophecies and poetic expressions of the heart.

Lay ministers (volunteers) require nurturing, training, and guiding. Their involvement and your support of their education ministries are crucial in the faith community, so we’ll turn our hearts and minds in that direction as well. Throughout …
