Adults
The mission of adult ministries is to water the seeds of faith in God, to build up the Body of Christ through the study of God’s word and through Christian fellowship, to promote Biblical literacy, and to enable us to be ambassadors for Christ, loving and serving others in this world to the glory of God.

Reason for the Hope Within?
Led by Dr. James D. Miller and Bryce Engelbrecht
1st Floor Reception, Bernsen
Sally Henning, 918-301-1019
Wednesdays, 6:30-8:00 p.m., January 11 - February 15
We live in a highly skeptical age. Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and other “evangelists of doubt” have become aggressive in their ridicule of the Christian faith. But there’s nothing novel in that. The apostle Peter urges Christians to “…be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands the hope that is in you.” (I Peter 3:15). And that’s precisely the purpose behind Timothy Keller’s book, Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism. Keller, who’s lived in New York City for twenty years, invites the reader to consider seven of the most common objections to the Christian faith
