Fall 2026 Free Bible Class
On Campus or Online

The letter to the Colossians was written to a young church facing cultural pressures, competing
philosophies, and distorted views of Jesus Christ. This five-week academic Bible study explores
the historical setting, theological message, and literary structure of Colossians, helping
participants understand why Paul wrote this letter and how its message continues to shape the
Church today. Together, we will examine the Colossian Heresy, the supremacy of Christ, and
Paul’s vision for faithful Christian living through careful study of the biblical text.
