9am Sunday Bible Study

Fall 2025 Joyful Outsiders Book Study

This class meets Sunday mornings at 9am in-person, and is also offered Wednesday nights at 7pm via Zoom (beginning September 7th in person and 10th on Zoom). We will be working through the book Joyful Outsiders: Six Ways to Live Like Jesus in a Disorienting Culture by Patrick Miller and Keith Simon.

Book description:

Feel more like an outsider in our culture today than you did ten years ago? If that’s the case, you’re not alone. Here’s the good news: in their book Joyful Outsiders, pastors Patrick Miller and Keith Simon suggest that Jesus has called us to be joyful outsiders like him. He was crucified as an outcast outside the city. Now, Jesus welcomes us to join him: to die to ourselves and discover that sacrificial love has the power to change the world. They lay out six ways to navigate a confusing culture at home, work and beyond, drawing on biblical characters to exemplify six types of joyful outsider: the artist, the protestor, the builder, the advisor, the ambassador and the the trainer.
