Facilitator:  Pastor Mike Coulson

We know there can be many obstacles standing in the way between you and a Bible study so we are going to do out best to clear some of them out of the way. Every other Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. we have a live Bible study online through Zoom. We study the Bible together live and from each of our homes through video conferencing to eliminate the need for finding a babysitter or driving at night. We are currently studying the Gospel of John!
To join in simply click on this link to join the Bible Study at the starting time: https://zoom.us/j/6103771696 and use 040420 as the password.
You can you the existing camera and microphone in your laptop, a webcam and microphone plugged into a desktop, or by using the mobile app!
If you have any questions just call the church at 610-377-1696 and we will walk you through what you will need to do!​
