The Book of Faith Initiative

The Book of Faith initiative invites the whole church to become more fluent in the first language of faith, the language of Scripture, in order that we might live into our calling as a people renewed, enlivened, empowered and sent by the Word.  This is an initiative of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

The Bible is a book of faith
The Bible is the written Word of God that creates and nurtures faith through the work of the Holy Spirit and points us to Christ, the incarnate Word and center of our faith. The Bible invites us into a relationship with God, making demands on our lives and promising us life in Christ. The Bible tells the stories of people living their faith over the centuries and, through its demands and promises, forms us as a people of faith.

The language of Scripture is our first language of faith
The language of the Bible becomes our language.  It shapes how we think and speak about God, about the world, and about ourselves. We become renewed, enlivened, and empowered as the language of Scripture forms our hearts, our minds, our community conversation, and our commitments.

 

The Book of Faith Initiative is a personal Bible Study under the guidance of Pastor Olin. We will be studying the Bible in no particular order. We will study                  1 Thessalonians from the New Testament. The study is  available twice a month. You can sign up to either receive it by e-mail, by picking it up when you’re in worship on the weekend, or by having it mailed directly to your house. The Bible Study is available on the Bible Study page.
