Come see what happens in people’s lives when they discover God through the study of His Word, the Bible. We are excited about our upcoming lessons which will guide us through these days with God's perspective. Our classes meet weekly during the school year. Each class participant receives a course book with a commentary and home study questions. Each week, you’ll participate in small group "Core Group" discussions and a large group teaching. Six times a year, fellowship meals which we call "Bruncheons" provide special times of sharing and relationship building within the class.

As of March 3, 2026, registration is open for our 2026-27 class year. We will be studying Colossians (6 weeks) and Genesis 1-22 (24 weeks).

You are welcome at anytime to register and join us either for the rest of this year and/or next year. Make sure to chose the correct class year when you register.

There is no registration fee to finish this year with us.

Registration fees for next year are: $40 adult and $10 children 0-18. If the fees are a hardship that will keep you from attending we have scholarships available.

Hello inquiring friends new or returning!

We are a women's class with a full children's program ministering to newborns through High Schoolers. The class runs during the school year with our children meeting in their own rooms on campus while the adults are in class.

We are thrilled to have so many moms and kids this year but that stretches our ability to accomodate safely with our current ratio of leaders to kids. Space in the various classes does fluctuate. As I update this (March 18, 2026) we have had some drop out. Please check with Wendy, our NextGen Director, regarding current openings in our children's classes. Text: 562-221-7010 to get a call back from Wendy.

Our Teen group (12-18 yrs) have their own Core Group for discussion studing the same book of the Bible as the adults. They join the adults for the Teaching Time (lecture).

Junior students (5th -7th or 8th) study the same books of the Bible as the adults but their lesson books are written at their level.

Primary Students (2nd-4th) study the same books of the Bible as the adults but their lessons books are written at their level.

Younger students have songs, memory verses, stories, work pages, and crafts, designed to teach children the Word of God at their age level.

It is such a joy to see the children excited to be there and to hear them singing their memory verses and sharing what they learned about Jesus through the week!

Currently Studying: Psalms

Our Adult In-Person Thursday AM Schedule:

Opening song, Greetings, short devotional

9:30 - 10:30

Core Groups (Small group lesson discussion and fellowship)

10:30 - 11:00

Teaching Time (Lecture)

The Teaching for the week is live in the Sanctuary for the whole group at 10:30. After that the lecture is sent out as a YouTube video in a notification to all registered adults usually by Thursday afternoon.

Once every 5-6 weeks we skip the Opening and extend our day by 15 minutes so that we can have a time of food and fellowship in our small groups that we call "Bruncheon” time before we discuss our lesson together.

If you are hungry for Christian fellowship, Community Bible Study is for you!

God Bless You!

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.
