Disciple I – Becoming Disciples Through Bible Study  – This is the foundational study in the series.  This study requires reading large portions of Scripture each week and is based on careful study and preparation. During the course of thirty-four weeks, groups move through the biblical stories of Creation to the New Jerusalem.

Disciple II – Into the Word, Into the World  - This thirty-two-week study selects specific portions of Scripture and delves deeper into them.  Equal attention is given to both the Old and New Testament with concentration on four books: Genesis, Exodus, Luke, and Acts (eight lessons on each book).

Disciple III – Remember Who You Are - Participants in this thirty-two-week study read the major and minor Old Testament prophets, with the exception of Daniel, and read the thirteen letters traditionally attributed to Paul.

Disciple IV – Under the Tree of Life – This is a thirty-two-week study that concentrates on the writings in the Old Testament – Ruth, 1 and 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Lamentations, and Daniel. New Testament Scriptures include the Gospel of John; 1, 2, and 3 John; James; Jude; and Revelation.

Jesus in the Gospels – A Second Generation Disciple Study  - This study focuses on the portraits of Jesus found in the four Gospels--Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The word in used in the title signals that this study takes an approach different from the familiar "life and teaching of Jesus" approach of reading stories and accounts of what Jesus said and did in order to draw conclusions about their meaning and about who Jesus was. This study looks at the way each Gospel writer presents events and teachings and at the picture of Jesus that emerges in each of the Gospels.  In the course of the thirty weeks, participants will read the four Gospels and considerable amounts of Scripture from other parts of the Bible.

Christian Believer - The goal of this study is to make available to people the substance of the Christian faith that the church has confessed as a way of connecting to God and living faithfully. This thirty-week study of the classical doctrines of the Christian faith aims at presenting, explaining, and interpreting Christian doctrine as the basic teaching of the church to the end that informed believing leads to committed discipleship

Disciple Bible Study is an on-going journey at Central.  Generally, at least one Disciple study is offered each calendar year.  In 2009, Disciple II is being offered on Monday evenings from 6:30pm until 9:00pm  New Disciple studies will be announced in the newsletter and in the announcement section of the weekly worship bulletin in time for registration and participation.
