Together Bible Study
shop allCommunity That Marked the Acts 2 Church
The first generation of believers embraced the idea of “church” in a way that impacted every aspect of their lives and empowered the gospel to spread far and wide.
This six-session Bible study invites us to challenge our distinctions between “Sunday Church” and the rest of our lives, to go all in with our faith and commitment to church community, and to live the truly dynamic, impactful life God has always intended for Christians to live.
As we study the foundations and rhythms of the early church, we can more intentionally emulate their way of life to make a greater impact in our world today while also experiencing the fullness of God in our own lives.
Discover how being deeply connected in the community of believers can transform our lives, our cities, and the world.
