At SPUMC, we believe that studying the Bible is essential for spiritual growth and a deeper relationship with Christ. Our Bible Studies (most run from 4-6 weeks) offer a welcoming and engaging environment where individuals of all ages and backgrounds can explore Scripture, ask questions, and grow in faith together.

Whether you're new to the Bible or a lifelong believer, we have a study group for you! Join us as we dive into this ancient book and try to make sense of it in its time and ours through interactive discussions, prayer, and fellowship.
