Adult Bible Studies
 
Our desire for the people of Colonial is…
… “that we might present every man complete in Christ” (Colossians 1:28).
One of the ways we accomplish this goal is through the ABS classes offered on Sunday mornings from 8:45-9:45 am. These classes seek not only to teach truth about God, but also to provide a venue for personal application and genuine interaction with other believers. If you are not a part of one of these classes we encourage you to find a class to connect with and allow the Body of Christ to work in your life.
