Coffee Break is an inductive Bible study that fosters learning and the deep discovery of the Word of God together in friendly and low-key small groups. Using an informal approach of questions, Coffee Break encourages people to discover for themselves what the Bible says and means for their lives. Through the application and sharing of life in light of God's Word, we strive for spiritual growth together.
Discover Jonah: The story of Jonah and the great fish is one of the best-known stories of the Bible. But Jonah’s encounter with a huge fish is not even the most important part of the story.
