Adult Bible Study

Prophets: A New School Year and a New Bible Study program starting in September!

Messengers of God's Mercy - Prophets is a program from Ascension that explores the powerful role the prophets played in calling God’s people back to their covenant with him. Guided by Thomas Smith, this study helps you understand who the prophets were, the message they proclaimed, and how their words continue to call us into a deeper relationship with God today.

If you would like to read more about the program, please visit Ascensionpress.org under the Bible Studies tab.

The Prophets Bible study consists of 10 sessions. Each session includes a 30-minute video, facilitation by Sacred Heart Catechists, and small group discussion.

The cost is $28 for a hard copy workbook and guide. There is also a $9.95 online version, which includes an online workbook and video access for one year. If you purchase the online option, you will still be able to participate in the in-person sessions.

We are no longer taking online registration so if you have questions or to register, please contact the Faith Formation Office at 703-590-0256 or ff@shcva.org, or see the Faith Formation Staff in person.  Registration will be completed upon payment. If you are a current volunteer in Faith Formation (including SPRED and OCIA), or if you commit to volunteering in the 2026-2027 Faith Formation cycle there is no charge for the class. Please make this clear upon registration.

NOTE: This Bible study is encouraged for adults who want to be baptized or join the Church in Full Communion at the Easter Vigil in 2027. The Fall 2026/Spring 2027 OCIA sessions will begin a two-year preparation for these individuals, which will include participation in this Bible study or like studies.
