ADULT BIBLE CLASSES
    Sundays - 9:45 am

Basics of the Christian Faith
Pastor Todd Arnold
Upstairs Conference Room

What does it mean to be a Christian?  How does trusting in Jesus assure for me an everlasting life with God?  Just what is a Lutheran Christian anyway?  What's the significance of baptism and communion?  This 12 week class will give you the basics of the Christian teachings.  Those who complete the class will be invited to become members at West Portal Lutheran Church but will be under no obligation to do so.

Psalms - Conversations With God
A Bible Study for Women
Ruth Stresow - Church Library
 

The Psalms were written by real people, who had real problems and joys.  Just as God spoke to the writers of the Psalms, so He speaks to us today.  Come and hear what He has to say to us in the Psalms.

Issues and Topics
Ed Proehl - Janssen Hall, Room #3

Through videos, text and discussion, the class will examine, from a Christian perspective, issues that affect and challenge Christian beliefs.  We will be examining the affect and influence of the media - magazines, movies, books - upon the Church, theology and individuals.   Watch the Service bulletin for the current topic.
 

Romans
Steve Spitz - Fellowship Hall

Paul's letter to the Christians in Rome lays out with force and clarity the "good news" he had been charged to deliver.  Martin Luther considered Romans one of the most important books in the Bible and a work Christians should return to again and again.  Our study will focus on understanding Paul's message  in the context of New Testament times and for us today.
