Fall A - Doctrine of Heaven

Mondays at 6 p.m. August 18 - October 6

Eden Westside Baptist Church, Pell City, AL

There are rampant misunderstandings in our culture today related to heaven. 

  • Who will be there?
  • What will we do in heaven?
  • Will we recognize one another and what will we look like?

This course is designed to help participants construct a biblical understanding of eternity through examining what the Bible says about heaven.
