Every year, Pastor Larry Hayward offers courses in both the Old Testament and New Testament for members, friends, visitors, and the general public. In either class, you will read nearly the entire Testament, learning the basic content of the book and exploring the text in detail. Each class will have an overall presentation of themes by Larry, with both whole group discussion and reflections in small groups. 

"Nearly 500 people have completed one or more of these courses over the past decade, and it is one of the best ways for us to get to know one another in this tremendous community known as Westminster. We read together. We learn together. We are together. And that is good news in these times. And I promise that while challenging, you will have new appreciation for what has been described as “the strong new world within the Bible.” Whether you are retired or working, reside in an empty nest or a house full of kids, are single, married, or in a relationship, I urge you to enroll in one of these courses. Repeaters are always welcome. I try to make the material fresh and new each year, though it can be quite fresh and new on its own!" - Pastor Larry

There is a $50 charge for the course. Participants provide their own Bible; Larry recommends The New Interpreter’s Study Bible (New Revised Standard Version), because of its introductions to each book.
