Book Studies

Book Studies & Study Groups

Faith grows when we learn, ask questions, and explore together. At Trinity Church–United Methodist, our book studies and study groups provide a welcoming space to dive deeper into faith, Scripture, and everyday life alongside others.

Group discussion gives us the opportunity to hear different perspectives, share our own experiences, ask honest questions, and discover new ways to put faith into practice. Whether you’re looking to deepen your understanding of Scripture, explore a faith-based book, or simply connect with others, there’s a place for you.

Various book studies and study groups are available throughout the year. Scroll down to see what’s currently available and find a group that interests you.
