New Adult Sunday School class
New Adult Sunday School class on Genesis starting soon. The entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is the record of human history that runs parallel with God’s redemptive history for mankind whom He loves. Genesis lays the foundation for our understanding of the truths revealed in this recorded history. Establishing ourselves firmly on these foundational truths strengthens our faith and our effectiveness in pointing the world to Jesus.
Next Sunday
Robert Rees with Pioneer Bible Translators will be preaching. Robert is another missionary that CCA supports monthly. Robert is working to translate different books of the Bible into a few different languages in India.
