Sunday Morning Adult Bible Study Classes
LIFE Communities 
at 
Huguenot Road Baptist Church

An Invitation for YOU! 

At Huguenot Road Baptist Church, we believe that disciples are grown through Bible study and interaction with other believers.  That’s why we invite you to participate in the systematic study of the Bible every Sunday morning at HRBC.  Through our Bible Study Ministry, you will:

• experience spiritual growth through study of the scriptures
• gain biblical knowledge
• learn to apply scripture to daily living
• find opportunities to express your faith through ministry and service to others
• strengthen relationships with other adults
• assist the growth of others as you share out of your faith experience.

At HRBC, we call our adult Bible study classes LIFE Communities.  The acronym stands for:
     L--Loving Relationships
     I--Intentional Caring
     F--Fatih Formation
     E--Empowerd for Ministry

Below, you will find information to help you choose a LIFE Community at HRBC.  Please note that many classes have overlapping ages, and you are welcome to try multiple classes before deciding which one is right for you.  For additional information about adult study opportunities at HRBC, please call our Associate Pastor for Education & Discipleship, Terry Maples, at 272-2072, Ext. 12, or you can email him at terry@hrbcrichmond.org.
