Mission Statement:

The mission of the Apostles Book Club (ABC) is to provide an opportunity to share our love of reading while building knowledge and growing spiritually. Our goal is to provide:

• A welcoming and respectful environment for all adults, no matter what level of faith or knowledge
• A place where we can fellowship and engage in no pressure, open discussion that will challenge us and move us to grow closer to God and each other as a community.

Our books will be selected monthly by the group and will include a mixture of fiction and non-fiction. New members are always welcome.

Meeting days and times: Third Monday of each Month, 6:30 – 8:00 pm.
