Adult Bible Fellowships (ABFs) meet Sunday mornings at 9:30 A.M. (College at 11:00 A.M.). Each ABF provides a great setting for digging into God's Word and for getting to know other believers from throughout Bloomington - Normal. The following is a list of our current ABFs. Please contact anyone of the leadership team members with your questions. If you have questions regarding ABFs in general, please contact Pastor Traig.
ACTS 242 - 9:30 A.M.
"They devoted themselves to the apostle's teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." Acts 2:42. Some things never change, like the basic needs of people desiring to live a Christian life in a culture antagonistic toward Christian living whether it's Corinth and Ephesus or Bloomington - Normal. After 2000 years of church history, those basic needs are still Bible study, relationships of interdependence, and prayer. You'll find in ACTS 242 a group of people on the exciting adventure of creating that kind of ABF. You're invited to join the adventure.
