Community Bible Study

Merrimack Valley MA

Come see what happens in people’s lives when they discover God through the study of His Word, the Bible.

Join us, and the rest of the world, as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Community Bible Study by studying the book of Psalms together!

Our classes meet weekly on Thursdays in Haverhill MA, during the school year. We offer in-person, online, and evening classes to fit your needs. Each class participant receives a course book with a commentary and home study questions. Every week you’ll engage in small group discussions followed by a large group teaching, all designed to deepen your understanding and connection with God's Word.

Registration is $35 for each Adult and $10 for each Child (ages 6 Months through High School.) Financial Aid Scholarships are available. To register online, simply scroll to the top of this page and click on the Register Now button in the top right corner.

Currently Studying: Psalms

From the beginning of time, people have wrestled with Loss, Grief, Loneliness, and Stress. Throughout these experiences, people have also discovered the unwavering love of God. A love that finds us, right where we are, inviting us to seek after Him wholeheartedly.

Are you looking for hope in the midst of life’s struggles?

Journey through the book of Psalms, written over centuries, filled with examples of honest, reverent communication with God. This in-depth study will help you to discover timeless truth, deepen your trust, and open your heart and eyes in new ways to God's presence, power, and character. Within the pages of the book of Psalms, you'll meet a relational God who receives and validates your struggles, fears, and longings.

Through each lesson, you’ll learn how to use the Psalms as a powerful guide for your everyday life.

Children ages 6 months through High School are welcome to attend our In-Person classes, where they will grow in faith through age appropriate lessons and activities.

Preschool and Young Elementary- Learn through engaging Bible teachings, crafts, activities and music to bring God's Word to life.
