+1 bIBLE sTUDY

plus1 logo white over red.png

+1 is a small-group Bible study where we can talk about Christian marriage and parenting in the 21st century. 

We’ll look at what the Bible has to tell us about these roles and then talk to each other about what that means for us as a spouse and a parent in 2019.We’ll talk about the challenges that we face in a Christian family, and help each other grow.

+1 will usually take the form of a group discussion in someone’s living room using a curriculum that we’ll share and take turns leading.  But on the schedule (see the back of this flyer), you’ll notice that there are 5 “date-nights.” On these nights, one of the couples in the group will be our baby sitters while the rest of us get to go out on a date with our spouse (with just a little +1 homework to discuss on your date.)
