Bible/Book Studies

Rumple offers Bible studies and other book studies throughout the year. The study leaders vary, but have included our pastors, church members, theologians, and other expert leaders.

Some of our studies are one-time while others stretch out over several weeks. Some studies are in-person and others are available via Zoom and archived on Rumple’s YouTube Channel.

If you enjoy learning, reading, and discussing the Bible and other books, we hope you’ll join us for a future study. Watch for announcements in the Slate and Stone.
