Candlelight Curriculum (Home Groups)


Candlelight Curriculum: The purpose of Home Groups at Candlelight is, simply, to BE the Church. We gather in homes on a weekly basis to share our lives with one another. We pray for one another, come alongside one another through the mountain tops and deepest valleys of life. We challenge one another to live out God’s Word, and to share Christ’s love with everyone we meet. This is where we ARE the Church!

Bible Basics (Overview of the Bible)

Closed for this term

  • • Perfect as an introductory class to the Bible. This class is for those who want to know the Bible Basics. We will explain things in “layman’s” talk so everyone can understand.
  • • Whether you are a “Newbie” or been going to church for years, we all need to know some very basic information about the Old Testament stories, the life of Christ and what the salvation message is all about.
  • • We will be reading a book titled BY THIS NAME which explains the Bible’s core message of salvation. It ties together key Old and New Testament stories to reveal the identity of God and the nature of sin, with the aim to answer two questions: “Who is Jesus?” and “What is the story of the empty cross and the empty tomb all about?”
  • • We will cover over 1500 bible verses and you should have a fairly good grasp of the Bible’s main message!
  • • This class might be for you or maybe you know a neighbor who needs to know something about the Bible. If so, then tell them about this class.
