Now that you have a relationship with Jesus, what should you do? How can you grow in your relationship with Christ? Every week, dozens of Christians are becoming grounded in their faith and learning answers to their spiritual questions. One of the best possible ways to experience solid growth in our Christian lives is by becoming involved in a Bible Study. These smaller, more intimate groups provide the kind of environment where we can find a place to share our common life in Jesus Christ.
As our fellowship continues to grow, it often becomes difficult for us to get to know one another on a personal level. Bible Study fellowships fill a very important need in the church by bringing us into an intimate group where our burdens, joys, and Christian experiences can be shared.
Tomah Baptist offers many Bible study opportunities throughout the week.
Finding the Perfect Fit
Tomah Baptist is a family! The several Bible studies are smaller families within that family. Because you are important to God, it is important to us that you find the class that is your perfect fit. By enrolling, you will connect with others like yourself for Bible studies, friendships, and activities. So regardless of your age or background, there is a class for you, and every class has a seat available and waiting for you!
Discipleship - In this class you will learn: Who you are in Christ - How to handle difficult people - How to heal past hurts - How to face rejection - How to deal with problems in your life - How to live the abundant Christian life - And many more. Please ask one of our pastors how you can get started with this class.
Sunday Morning Bible Study for All Ages - Each Sunday morning at 9:30, we offer a small group Bible Study for all ages. Divided into age groups over the age of 12, and by gender , these small groups of no more than 10-12 individuals can study in a relaxed setting that encourages interaction and shared ideas. Building friendships through fellowship, care and the common bonds of Bible study makes this Sunday outreach pivotal to the growth and success of Tomah Baptist Church.

Be Alive: A Study From the Book of John with companion commentary from Warren Wiersbe
When Jesus spoke, people listened. When Jesus traveled, people followed. When Jesus arrived, hearts and lives were transformed.No other Gospel gives such extensive explanation to Jesus' ministry as the Gospel of John. The first three Gospels describe events, but the fourth Gospel describes the significance behind those events. Through miracles, parables, and relationships, Jesus shows how He is the fulfillment of God's promises of old. He is the Word, the Light, the Lamb-the eternal Son of God. Let the humanity of Christ move you as He feels your joys and pains, and let the deity of Christ awaken you to the life He has planned!
Wiersbe writes: "During the months that I have been studying the Gospel of John and writing this book, I have felt like a man standing on holy ground. The more I studied and wrote, the more inadequate I felt. No wonder the great Greek scholar Dr. A.T. Robertson called the Gospel of John "the profoundest book in the world."
There is not space in these studies to plumb the depths, but I have tried to present the basic teachings of this marvelous book. The Gospel of John is simple enough for a child to wade in, but deep enough for the scholar and the most seasoned saint to swim in. This book is the first of two volumes devoted to the Gospel of John. The second one, focusing on chapters 13-21, will follow. Please come to this book with the heart and mind of a worshiper.
John did not simply write a book; he painted exciting pictures. These pages are filled with images such as the Lamb, the Door, the Shepherd, the new birth, the light and darkness, the Water of Life, bread, blindness, seeds, and dozens more. Use your "sanctified imagination" as you study and the Gospel of John will become a new book to you. And, remember, you are not studying a book--you are seeing a Person. "And we beheld His glory . . . full of grace and truth" (John 1:14)."
Part of Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe's best-selling "BE" commentary series, Be Alive has now been updated with study questions and a new introduction by Ken Baugh. A respected pastor and Bible teacher, Dr. Wiersbe explores how we can make our faith matter. You'll be encouraged to trust His word, and inspired to count on God, while counting for Him. If you would like to order a copy of this book to study along, please contact our office.
Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe is best known as an author, pastor, and radio Bible teacher. He was for many years pastor of Chicago's Moody Memorial Church and most recently served as General Director and Bible teacher for Back to the Bible. He has authored over 100 books, including the "BE" series from Victor Books.
