Community Bible Study

Santa Maria CA

We welcome you to register for our '24-'25 class! We will be studying the book of Matthew

Come see what happens in people’s lives when they discover God through the study of His Word, the Bible!

Our class meets weekly on Wednesday mornings from 10:10am to 12pm, and our calendar runs concurrent with the school year. Our '24-'25 class year begins on September 4th and runs through April 30th '25. Each class participant receives a workbook for the current book of the bible we are studying. The workbook contains home study with questions for you to complete on your own for each lesson and the lesson closes with a commentary. Each week at class you will participate in a small group discussion of the completed lesson and a large group teaching. From time-to-time lunchtime fellowship meals will provide special times of sharing and relationship building within the class.

CBS Zoom Class is now available and an option for participants of Santa Maria CBS. Zoom class is held on Wednesdays at 10:30am and finishing at 11:30am. Participants assigned to a core group also have the option to 'drop in' to the Zoom class as needed, with an RSVP, giving each participant the ability of staying current with their lessons while unable to make it to in-person class. Please follow the CONTACT US email option below to be connected.

CBS '24-'25 The book of Matthew

September 4th '24 to April 30th '25: Do you ever wonder if God has deserted you when He sits in silence in the face of your requests? God's people also wondered this after centuries of silence. However, we will discover as we travel through the gospel of Matthew that God had not forgotten His people nor has He forgotten us. God's silence during the period before Jesus' birth was merely a precursor to the revelation of His amazing redemptive plan. As we read through the pages of Matthew together, we will see Jesus Christ revealed as Israel's long-awaited King and Messiah, and His coming to earth as God in the flesh will remind us of His deep love for us. Jesus' death, resurrection and ascension remind us that the Lord Jesus will always be with us, even to the end of the age, and his commission to His followers is still his mandate to us today-- "Make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19-20).

Next Gen Ministry

Through a variety of activities such as Bible teaching, Scripture memory work, crafts, worship, games, and other activities, we seek to provide a welcoming and engaging environment where the next generations can learn about Jesus. Our offerings are tailored to a child’s developmental stage, starting with babies, and going through high school. Beginning in our elementary classes, our curriculum can be aligned with an adult class so that parents and their children may study the same Book of the Bible, enabling parents additional opportunities to assist their children in living out God’s truths in their lives.
