Caring for People ~ Strengthening Families ~ Leaving a Legacy that Glorifies God
Explore the Bible With Us
God has a will and a plan for every life. That means He has something special just for you! God reveals His special plan for us when we spend time talking with Him and studying His word, the Bible. Someone has described the Bible as God's love letter to us. That's a fair description. Hear what God says through His prophet Jeremiah:
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~ Jeremiah 29:11
We invite you to explore the Bible with us so we can learn together what God's plan for us is. There are several opportunities for Bible study, teaching, and discussion here at First Southern:

Sunday Evening Bible Study/Discussion top
Our Sunday evening service at 6:00 is quite a bit different from Sunday morning. We sing a couple of songs or choruses, followed by an interactive discussion about the subject passage of scripture. This is a time when we can actively share in the interpretation and application of scripture, guided by our pastor who leads the discussion.
We are presently in a study of the Book of Romans. This study is entitled: The Gospel: From Here to Eternity. While each week's discussion builds on the one before, each session can also stand alone so it's never too late to join in.
Women's Bible Study top
A special women's Bible series is offered several times throughout the year. When the next one is scheduled, we'll post the information here. Studies by Beth Moore and Rick Warren are examples of the types of studies used.
