Since Fall 2016, we have been on a journey through the important, foundational ideas of gospel, kingdom, kingship, and new creation through the Scriptures. While we have applied these theological frameworks to everyday life, the emphasis has been on letting the larger vision take shape within the Crestview family. In this study, we will look at 10 New Testament letters and revisit the Sermon on the Mount with a focus on how theology informs “living a life of love” (Ephesians 5.1-2) both in and for the world. In other words, having a clearer picture who God is in Jesus Christ, how then shall we live?
As we continue to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic in a way that protects the most vulnerable in our community, we will hold one in-person class that will be available by reservation only. This class will be live-streamed through Crestview’s Facebook page to those who are electing to continue to worship at home or cannot secure a reservation.

Previous Sunday Morning Bible Classes
We believe that growth in Christian faith is inspired by a continuous and broad engagement with the Hebrew Bible and New Testament Scriptures. In order to remember where we have been and ensure that our vision does not become too biblically narrow, we preserve this history of our past adult education series that extends from 1994 to the present. Feel free to glean from these studies; however, we do ask that if you use resources that we have developed that you contact our Adult Education Coordinator.
