 The Book of 1 Peter   |   Pastor Steve Aeschbacher   |     Room 3205 ( Ends on July 6)
Life doesn't always look—or feel—like the Kingdom of God. In a world filled with conflict, confusion, and compromise, how do we stay faithful? How do we stand out without losing heart? The Apostle Peter wrote to early Christians facing these very challenges, and his words still speak powerfully to us today. In this engaging class we’ll dive into the book of 1 Peter—a letter full of hope, challenge, and practical wisdom for believers trying to live out their faith in a culture that often pushes back. Until the day God restores all things, we are called to represent His Kingdom here and now. Come be equipped, encouraged, and challenged to live boldly for Christ—right where you are.

Ecclesiastes – The Meaning of Life in a Meaningless World (conducted in Mandarin)     |     Selina Li    |     Bride’s Room
Ecclesiastes teaches that life is random and uncontrollable, so how do we live well under these circumstances?
This study will guide you through its key themes, such as vanity, time, wisdom, joy, and divine sovereignty; helping you understand the necessity of fearing God in a fallen and frustrating world. Through reflection and discussion, you will gain insight into how to live with purpose, contentment, and faith in God’s sovereignty.

Join us for a thought-provoking series of video-based sessions that dive into the heart of life’s biggest questions—faith, suffering, leadership, culture, and more. Each week features a compelling video presentation from leading Christian thinkers, followed by guided group discussion. These sessions aren’t lectures—they’re conversations, hosted by facilitators passionate about helping others wrestle with truth, beauty, and the Christian vision of a flourishing life.

July 6 - Scripture and the Public Square: The Use and Misuse of the Bible in American History with Kaitlyn Schiess (Facilitator -Jennifer Stocks-Mersinger)
Scripture has played a role in numerous American historical movements, including those advocating for suffrage, secession, independence, and during the Civil War. Throughout these events, the Bible has been cited both to defend and to oppose political systems, serving as a tool for justification as well as resistance—often resulting in both constructive and harmful consequences.

We’ll look at Bonhomme’s plans for the future, the faith of a leader, our “essential tenets” of faith, our values as leaders at Bonhomme, what ECO is and how we relate to it, how we are organized for mission and ministry here, our spiritual gifts, and some practical tools to help you in your leadership challenges.

Back to Basics: The Gospel, the Kingdom, Salvation, and Christian Life | Susan Harrison | Room 2105

 Have you ever wondered what the Gospel and the Kingdom of God really are and what difference they make to our lives today? Join us as we explore key themes of the Christian faith and discover what Scripture reveals about:
• God's nature and His relationship to humanity (us!)
• The consequences of disobedience—and God’s response
• What God has done to set things right in the world, in our lives, in the lives of others
• What it means to be a “new creation” in Christ
• The true gift of the Holy Spirit and its impact on our lives
Susan Harrison, BPC's Finance Director and an ordained pastor with over 20 years of teaching and preaching experience, will lead this study.
Delighting in the Trinity | Rafael Nieves-Rosario | Room 2107
Three persons, one God––confused yet? You’re not alone. Many people throughout history have tried to understand the mystery of the Trinity. What does it mean to say that God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? In this 7-session class, we’ll discuss Michael Reeves’s Delighting in the Trinity to appreciate how the unfathomable mystery of the Trinity is relevant for our relationships, our faith, and our worship. Rafael is an artist-theologian from Puerto Rico. He and his wife, Monica, recently became Covenant Partners at BPC. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Jazz Guitar Performance and a Master of Divinity from Covenant Theological Seminary. He is currently a doctoral candidate at Duke Divinity School, where he is researching the relevance of improvisation for the imitation of Christ.
