Fall Bible Study 2026

Series Title: "Jesus Christ!"
Who is Jesus Christ? How do we understand Jesus' work in the world? And how does it possibly connect to our twenty-first century lives in Columbia, South Carolina? Paul's letter to the Colossians paints a picture of Jesus, and the impact of his life on ours, in an earth-shattering way. Over this six-week study, we'll think about Jesus' kingdom, his desire and efforts to reconcile the world to one another, and how these big theological ideas impact our actual day-to-day lives, here and now.

Bring your lunch! And/or a friend. We'll have booklets for everyone on the first day of the study (October 13).

Time: 12-1:15pm
Dates: 10/13-11/17

We’ve been told to Love God with our hearts, souls, and minds. At DOWNTOWN CHURCH we work hard to stretch our oftentimes stubborn minds in our exploration of God and one another.

We’ve found that books, both biblical and not, are great places to start. We read books, drink coffee, talk, and listen. Guided by the wisdom of others we watch and see the ways the Holy Spirit shows up and walks alongside us in our own rocky paths of transformation.
