Where do we Baptists come from? Are we just descendants of English Separatists? Do we have any connections to the Anabaptists of the sixteenth century? How are we related to various modern Anabaptists — such as the Mennonites, Hutterites, Amish, Old German Baptists, the various Brethren churches, and the Dunkard Brethren? Join us and find out.
Overview
Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.” Colossians 2:6-7
Purpose: Provide a fundamental understanding of the Bible and the Christian faith.
The Plan: 12 classes have been identified as “Core Classes”. (Note below)
There will also be other classes that will study particular books in the Bible or important topics considered from a Biblical perspective.
