Disciple IV: Under the Tree of Life
A 32-week study of Old Testament wisdom literature and the Gospel of John; 1,2,3 John; James; Jude, and Revelation in the New Testament. It continues to call clergy and laity to serious, disciplined Bible study that will result in the development of biblically nourished servant-leaders.

WESLEY GROUPS
A Wesley Group is a voluntary, intentional gathering of eight to twelve people regularly meeting together with the shared goal of Christian fellowship, study, prayer and ministry to one another.
Born from the need to bring the people of St. Timothy closer together, a small group ministry or Wesley Groups was formed. Knowing the people around you in church may seem like a natural thing, but unfortunately it’s not always the case. The purpose of Wesley Groups is not purely social. By becoming a part of this ministry you will meet weekly with 8-12 others to study God’s Word, minister to one another, pray for those in need and support each other in faith. It is an opportunity to grow and to help others grow closer to Christ.
For more information contact Mark Stover at 985.796.1377 or Peggy Price at 985.626.8556 or fill out the form on the left and note Wesley Group in the study name.
