Bible
Studies

We believe in growing disciples of Jesus. A big part of growing in Christ comes from learning more about God’s word, the Bible. Madison is a place where you can ask questions and reason together with other Christians to learn more about the life Christ calls us to live. 

Join us for Bible Study on Sundays at 5:00PM and Wednesdays at 7:00PM. Our Sunday studies are divided into general age and life stage groups while our Wednesday night studies are multigenerational. We encourage you to join any study that you are interested in.

Schedule A Bible Study

We would love the opportunity to study the Bible with you! We believe the Bible is God’s word. It is inspired by Him and given to us to better understand who He is and better understand the life He calls us to live.

WINTER QUARTER | SUNDAY STUDIES

Beginnings: Genesis 1-11 (Nov-Jan)

This study of Genesis 1-11 should be an exciting one. So many people are familiar with the stories contained inside, having heard them since childhood. Genesis was originally written to ancient readers (and probably told by grandparents to grandchildren around family fires before that). Our study will try to ask the original questions Genesis intended to answer: who is God? What does it mean to be made in God’s image? How did humanity get to our current state? How is Israel’s God different from the other “gods” of the time?

2025 MID-WEEK SUMMER SERIES

WINTER QUARTER | WEDNESDAY BIBLE STUDY

Our mid-week Bible studies are intergenerational and cover a variety of textual and topical studies. Join us each Wednesday night for Bible study at 7PM.

THE MOUNTAIN OF GOD

Will Waldron | Rom 201

The Biblical writers often pull themes and language from other writers to evoke emotions and link ideas within their readers. The Mountain of God appears throughout the Bible as a “thin” place between Heaven and Earth. Here, God’s people are often tested and transformed into the type of people who can ultimately live forever with Him on His mountain.

THE LIFE OF DAVID

Richard Turner | Rm 206A

This class will explore the complex and compelling life of David, one of the most influential figures in the Bible. From his humble beginnings as a shepherd boy to his anointing as king and his enduring legacy as a man after God’s own heart, the class will examine the life of David.

SINGING CLASS

Robin Entrekin | Echo Room

Colossians 3:16 says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” This quarter we will teach and admonish one another through singing and edification. Each class will have a theme that will consist of a mixture of old and new songs along with scriptures and prayers. Join us each week as we teach and admonish each one another with praise, glory and honor to God.

JUDGES

Bill Mitchell | Auditorium

This class offers an in-depth study of the book of Judges. Through a series of compelling narratives, we will explore the recurring cycle of Israel’s disobedience, oppression, repentance, and deliverance. Each judge – flawed yet used by God – reveals insights into God’s justice, mercy, and sovereignty. This class will challenge and encourage you to see how God works through imperfect people to accomplish His purposes.

NEW DAY

David Hargett | Rm 201A

This class is a supportive fellowsihp where men and women come together to apply the spiritual principles of the Twelve Steps in their daily lives. The goal is to deepen our spiritual connections with God, with others, and with ourselves. By sharing and practicing these principles, we seek personal growth and healing within a safe and respectful environment.
