Bible Fellowship
We have Bible Fellowship classes every Sunday and also each week a new online bible fellowship class will be uploaded on this page.
Our mission is to provide Bible Study groups that engage people in evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, ministry, missions, and worship.
Chester Baptist Church offers a variety of opportunities to learn more about God’s Word through Sunday morning Bible Study Classes – Bible Fellowship. These classes also serve as a social network for members and visitors through fellowship and mission projects. The classes provide support to their members through prayers and assistance during time of need.
