Course Description

Join us for this 5-week course on the Acts of the Apostles, a follow-up study to the Gospel of Luke. During this dive into Acts, we will look at the early church taking itself on the road!

We further explore the role of the Holy Spirit, especially its relationship to the act of bearing witness. Finally, we examine the dynamic make-up and ethic of the Early Church and its conflict with the systems of a static world.
