The Chosen Bible Study - Season 2 will meet Mondays, beginning August 21st from 6:30pm-8:00pm in the New Creation Center's Table Room - for 8 weeks. All are welcome to register and attend - or just drop-in! 

We’re excited to invite you to our Bible study event based on the Groundbreaking, Crowd Funded Streaming TV Series, "The Chosen." Join us as we embark on an 8 week Bible Study designed to be used in conjunction with The Chosen Streaming TV series about the life of Jesus.

Each week we’ll watch a new episode, beginning August 2023 with Season 02 , Episode 01 and experience scriptures from the Old & New testaments brought to life on screen in a deeply impactful and relatable way.  If you miss a week – NO WORRIES, you can download the APP “The Chosen” for FREE on your Smart Phone, Tablet, or Smart TV and never fall behind.  

Whether you’re a long-time fan of “The Chosen” or you’re just starting to discover the series, we’d love to have you join us for this exciting study program.  Each week we'll watch an episode, then discuss, and as time allows we’ll follow some questions from “The Chosen” Bible Study booklet which takes a deep dive into scriptures from each episode.
