General Epistles
​Instructor: Russ Earl

PURPOSE:
The purpose of our class is to help all who enroll to obtain more knowledge of God's word, especially the General Epistles; to obtain a higher level of service and to grow spiritually. We trust that each student will work toward the end of applying all learned in service to God 
We want all who attend to enjoy their study, but at the same time remember it is for a serious purpose we meet. Students should feel free to ask for help when necessary but should first exhaust their capacity to solve the problem before asking.
