Learning Community

New Song Community Church offers an opportunity to put God’s truth into action in our everyday lives through Learning Community. Led by Pastor Herb Shaffer, this small group study helps distinguish true Bible teaching from some of the false ideas that have crept into Biblical theology.

Why Participate?

  • Become better disciples of Christ together so we can face anything
  • Gain a deeper learning of Biblical truth
  • Develop stronger “iron sharpening iron” relationships
Ephesians 4:11-16 (ESV)"And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love." 

Join Us!
