Starts: March 17th

Duration: ~12 weeks

Materials Needed: Bible; Study Guide will be available but is optional (donations accepted)

Intended audience: Women of all ages

The people we read about in Scripture faced many of the same challenges we do today. By observing how biblical characters brought their fears and frustrations to God, we can learn to do the same. Filled with encouragement and truth, this study will remind us that God's character and presence can give us strength to face any difficulty.

Join us as we delve into Scripture, finding help, hope, and refreshment for our souls.

Meeting in Room 204 (the Music Lab)

Duration: ~10 weeks - Starting February 25th

Materials Needed: Bible

Intended audience: Everyone

In this study we'll learn how to look to the Lord for the grace needed to navigate tough times in the world we live in as well as our own personal life. We'll discover that Christians who compromise their faith for the comfort this world offers, will live in frustration and confusion. The book of 1 Peter reminds us of the "Living Hope" that we have been born again to. This is the same hope that will encourage, preserve, and enable us to have a life worth living.

Led by: Laura Casoni

Meeting in room 212

Materials Needed: Optional book - She Reads Truth: Faith in Practice

Intended audience: Women of all ages

What are spiritual disciplines? More than activities or monastic rituals, they are opportunities for engaging with God in response to the new life we have in Him. In this reading plan, we will explore a variety of Christian practices modeled by the people of God and taught by Jesus and His disciples in Scripture. Join us as we learn what it means for new and mature believers alike to intentionally seek God's presence.

Led by: Pastor Talley

Meeting in Fellowship Hall

Materials Needed: Study guides available - donations accepted

Intended audience: Everyone

Duration: >12 weeks - starts October 22nd

Do you know what you believe, or why you believe it? Is theology just trivia, or does it have consequences in our day to day lives? In this theological thrill ride, we'll explore why doctrine matters, and focus on how different ideas throughout history compare against the truth of Scripture.

Led by: Mike Boots

Meeting in room 211

Duration: 16 weeks - begins November 19th

Materials Needed: Bible (study outlines will be provided)

Intended audience: Anyone

Throughout Jewish and Christian history, the Book of Job has spoken powerful words of hope and comfort to people who have suffered or who have found faith difficult. The Study of the Book of Job deals with the question, "Why does God allow good people to suffer?" Job's response to suffering gives Christians today an example how we should maintain faith in God despite our sufferings. If you desire to explore these questions and more, please join us for a 16 week study of the Book of Job.
