- Bible Study Living the Word: Faith in Action
Saturday, October 3rd, October 31st, December 12th, 10:30 a.m. at Herbergsgasse 7 in Basel. Studying the Bible is about discovering who God is and learning how to walk faithfully with Him.

Whether you are a Christian believer or simply curious about Christianity, you are warmly welcome to join us.
