Juli Bakken
Juli Bakken loves coming along side others, to learn the truths of the Bible together! When she felt the tug on her heart to begin teaching what she was learning, the Lord gave her a promise, “Set the table, the hungry will come, and the hungry will be fed.” 5 years ago Juli and her husband Glen began to invite people to their home for Saturday morning and evening Big 5 Bible study groups. They have learned and witnessed that Bible study is discipleship! It is exciting and life giving to grow in knowledge of the scriptures with others!

Pastor Lori

“Not all Bible studies, study the Bible.”
-Pastor Jodi Ruch
Enough “raking leaves” in your Bible study. Knowing the Word is knowing God.
Raking leaves as you read scripture is the idea that we often scratch the surface; which means we are scratching the surface with God.
Since scripture is God's words to us, we want to dig deeper into those words - which is digging deeper into knowing who God is. We want to know God in deeper ways. Join us today.
