Scripture speaks to us, through the words of the prophets and through the teachings of Jesus, of the powerful and intimate connection into which we are all invited by and with our loving God.

The prophet Jeremiah says, "I will be their God, and they shall be my people... they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest" (31:31-34). We are all God's beloved children, connected to our God and to one another.

Jesus says to us, "I am the vine, you are the branches" (John 15:5). No other connection has that power, that promise of unconditional love, that invitation to be a part of a deep and abiding community - of the human family.

So, consider this your invitation! Come on in, and connect at First Baptist Church in Beverly.

 

Adult Classes

Faith is a journey, not a destination. At First Baptist, a commitment to adult education encourages adults to continue to work on their faith, to question, to wonder, and to make connections. New members are always welcome in our adult classes, at any point in the year. Unless otherwise noted, classes meet at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings.

Sunday Morning Classes

Adult Bible Study - This class meets in the Mary Kuell room and enjoys lively discussions while studying a variety of texts, both biblical and academic. If you are looking for interesting study and discussion that can lead to new insight, then this is the class for you.
Mae Patten Class - This class meets in the lounge behind the sanctuary to study the Scripture and apply it to their lives. This group of women has met together for many years and loves the addition of new members.
Faith Journey - This class explores the relationship of individual faith to daily life by looking at some of the more difficult issues we face. The class meets in Meeting Room B, upstairs.
People of the Book - This class explores biblical readings as well as books on faith as a basis for discussion. The class meets in Meeting Room A.
