Disciple Bible Study
Disciple Bible study is an exciting and dynamic approach to Bible study created by the United Methodist Church. Disciple I students will read 80% of the Bible during the 34 week study. Students in the other Disciple levels will focus on particular sections of the sacred text. Classes begin early September.
