What Members Say About Pearl Bible Study

Words from people who learn with us on Sundays.

“I attend the Bible study Ben leads for many reasons, but the main one is the fellowship! I don't have transportation, and because of some past hurts, I tend to shy away from church buildings. With this Bible study, I can attend without leaving home. As a cancer patient, I have to be careful about being around people who might be sick, so being online takes away that worry while still letting me be part of a group.”
