2024 Bible Advocate Theme: Meeting God in Scripture

Join the BA this year as we travel through the Bible to experience God, know who He is, and learn what He’s done. We will meet Jesus along the way, the image and revelation of God — the Word with God and made flesh for us. Like the two men on the road to Emmaus, we want our hearts to be warmed as Scripture is opened to us. Encounter God with us in His Word!
