Rev. Bob Cummings, Pastor of Care Ministries at Christ Church at Grove Farm, led us in this series, which started on September 29th, 2023 through November 3rd. All lesson plans, audio of the teaching and the transcript of the audio are listed below. Rev. Jeff Stivason is returning to the Barn on Friday, November 10th, 2023 to revitalize an old series, “A Wayward Prophet.” Please join us to learn from our main teacher as he has come to a stabilizing point with his wife Tabatha’s battle with breast cancer.

Rev. Bob Cummings

We meet each Friday morning at the Barn on the campus of Christ Church. The doors open at 6am with the study beginning at 6:30am.

Seven of our Brave Men have assumed the role of teaching as Rev. Jeff Stivason has been caring for his wife Tabatha as she battles with cancer. Please continue to pray for Tabatha. Here is the link to the Caring Bridge where Jeff posts updates.

Rev. Ted Wood has been committed to carrying on and scheduling the ministry of teaching the Brave Men in the spirit of Bruce Bickel, our founding teacher and his successor, Jeff Stivason, all in the power of the Holy Spirit. We have been delighted how well the teaching has gone. Lots of different content with substance. Thanks be to God.

Join us as we rejoice in our risen Savior, serve our living Lord and await our coming King. Grace and mercy to us all with an abundance of love, through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

May God continue to bless us all.
