Connecting Groups
FARRIS CONNECTING GROUP
Bibliology Class - From the Greek biblios, bibliology is the study of the book, or more specifically, the study of the Bible. This topic deals with issues of definition, authority, and interpretive methodology. It is vital to have a solid bibliology, because if we don’t approach the Bible properly, then we have no real authority to speak on any of the other areas of systematic theology.
“All Scripture is inspired by God, and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” - 2 Timothy 3:16-17
“Study the Word, so that your faith may not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” – C. H. Spurgeon

WILLIAMSON’S CONNECTING GROUP
North Pointe’s Young Professionals Connecting Group’s mission is to minister to a new generation of adult believers taking their place in the Church; a generation that is seeking new ways to encounter and model Christ both inside and outside the Church. The hallmark of our group is Alethinos; a Greek word that refers to authentic truth. In other words, while we hold to the eternal fact that Christ is the ultimate truth, we value an honest, robust, and biblical exchange of ideas as we seek to grow together in Christ, and reflect Him to an increasingly complex and diverse world.

COLLEGE AND CAREER GROUP
The College and Career group seeks to meet young adults where they are and walk with each other through the Word as we seek the path God has laid out for each of us. With our vision clearly before us and recognizing the pre-eminent place that God’s Word should occupy in the hearts and minds of all people, this group seeks to meet this vision by fulfilling the Great Commission in the local church body and community as a whole, making disciples of Jesus Christ, and teaching them to observe all things that He has commanded (Matt. 28:19-20).
