Community Baptist Church currently has the following Bible Studies on a regular (weekly) basis:

ADULT STUDY
The adult class is studying "Willing to Believe - The Controversy over Free Will" by R.C. Sproul.

Next week, a new adult class will begin, with a DVD entitled "What's the Difference? Manhood and Womanhood Defined" by John Piper.

BAPTIST CONFESSION OF 1689
We have begun a study of the Baptist Confession of 1689, but it is not too late to join us! Please talk to Pastor Doug if you are interested in joining this class.

CHRISTIAN CLASSICS READING GROUP
A Christian Classics Reading Group, led by Pastor Doug, is for those who would like to read classic Christian literature covering the past 2000 years of Church history. The purpose of this class is to grow in a deeper appreciation of Christ through careful consideration of His providential oversight of His church, through some of the teachers and leaders He has raised up through the generations.

This will be accomplished through reading primary sources of gifted teachers like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, and Edwards. As Christ builds His church, He raises up faithful teachers through whom he edifies His people. The gifting and insight that Christ has given some of these men transcends their own time and culture. As the Lord wills, our reading ought to equip us with a better appreciation of the development of the Christian mind and doctrine.

The reading group recently began reading Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion. There is a group meeting Wednesday evenings at 5:30 p.m.

BIBLE READING CALENDAR, by Robert Murray M'Cheyne
It is a concise course whereby one can read through the whole Bible once a year - with the Psalms & the New Testament twice. The tables have two separate columns; one for family readings and one for private [in secret] readings. M'Cheyne's Calendar was highly recommended by famous preachers such as Charles Haddon Spurgeon. In John Stott's "Between Two Worlds" he expresses his gratitude for having been given M'Cheyne's 'Bible reading calendar' (p183).
