Bible Study

The Springfield Cumberland Presbyterian Church has several options for adult Bible study on Sunday morning. Each teacher has their own style and area of expertise.

George is a scholar in the area of prophecy. He is writing a book and has spent years studying prophecy in the Old and New Testaments. George is a retired minister from another denomination but is now a treasured part of our church. He is a Bible college graduate.

Jim is focusing on a single book in the New Testament. His style is modeled after BSF classes he took. Jim is an elder in our church.

Gordon is a seminary graduate and a retired ordained minister in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. His study focuses on the quarterly which he adds to from his extensive background.

John is the senior pastor in the church and a seminary graduate. His Bible study class takes a passage of scripture, in sequence each week, and he lectures about it. He uses commentaries and other resources to get more background. People in the class ask questions and challenge him. They do a lot of current understanding and application and discuss current issues and circumstances.

Peggy is an associate pastor in the church, a seminary graduate and the only female leading a class at this time. Her class is a direct Bible study with no other texts other than the study notes in the Bibles themselves. It is for people who do not know the Bible well and want to know what it says. While there is some application and discussion, the point is to familiarize the class with the scripture itself. Everyone participates in a question and answer format.

Pastor Park, the Korean speaking associate, is a seminary graduate and has a doctorate as well. He does not lead a Bible study on Sunday morning before preaching. His Bible study is held on Wednesday evening in Korean. He also gives a short message in Korean every morning, along with a prayer service, at 6 am, except Saturday it's at 7am.

Pastor Ang is hoping to start a Bible study in Chinese soon.
