Awaken: No Other Gods

Fall Registration FULL – Register for Waitlist

TUESDAY MORNINGS @ 9:30 – 11:00am

Life is full of good things that easily become ultimate things. Our families, relationships, careers, dreams, rhythms —even our desire to be loved, successful, and enough. However, these good gifts were never meant to carry the weight of our identity or satisfy the truest longings of our hearts.

Awaken is a Bible study community designed especially for mothers with children ages newborn through young adult. The study fills quickly, so we recommend that you register as soon as registration opens. Limited childcare is available upon registration and will fill quickly.

Finding God Faithful (A Study on the Life of Joseph)

WEDNESDAY EVENINGS @ 6:25 – 7:30pm

Gather with women from all ages and stages of life, connecting over Truths from Scripture.  We will walk through the life of Joseph, noting his triumphs and tragedies, his betrayals and bestowals, and be in awe of God weaving His plan through it all.  Parallel, we will notice and share our own stories of God’s faithfulness, even when we could not see Him, when we needed to see Him, and when others walked alongside of us to help us see Him. This is a no homework study, with an emphasis on fellowship and discipleship. Hope you’ll plan to join us! 

This Bible Study meets during regularly scheduled Wednesday night activities for men, preschoolers, children and students.

Finding God Faithful by Kelly Minter

TUESDAY MORNINGS @ 9:30 – 11:00am

No doubt there have been, or will be, times in your life when circumstances lead you to wonder if God is there, if He cares, and if things are still in His control.  By walking through the story of Joseph, we will trace God’s hand, holding the triumphs and tragedies, betrayals and bestowals, and weaving all of Joseph’s circumstances together for good.  In doing so, we will learn to notice glimpses of God at work in our own stories, and trust His promises and presence.  He was faithful then, is faithful now, and will be faithful still.  
We will use Kelly Minter’s study  “Finding God Faithful” as a springboard for our time.  As we are stirred by studying scripture, we will have a combination of teaching, discussion and sharing stories.

Heaven: When Faith Becomes Sight by Jennifer Rothschild

TUESDAY EVENINGS 6:30 – 8:00pm

Heaven. Who goes there? Where is it? What will we do there? Questions like these arise when we consider an eternal future beyond this physical life. How can we know the truth about what comes next? We’d love for you to join us as we explore the subject of Heaven from a biblical perspective. We will separate what’s true about Heaven from what’s based on legend, media depictions, and hopeful guesses. As you walk through the study, you’ll not only gain a deeper understanding of what God has prepared for His children, but also learn how to live with confidence today as you look forward to the glorious unending that awaits. Don’t just wonder about Heaven—embrace it with a faith that turns anticipation into excitement and peace. We’d love for you to join us for this discussion oriented, Scripture-based study!

Parables of Jesus: The Kingdom of God is like…

Fall Registration FULL – Register for Waitlist

THURSDAY MORNINGS @ 9:30 – 11:15am

This fall we’ll journey through the parables of Jesus —powerful stories He used to reveal His heart, unveil the truths of God’s kingdom and invite people to know Him more deeply. As we unpack the parables, we’ll see how Jesus used them to teach us how to live and how He still invites us to know Him more deeply today.

Let’s open God’s Word together and let Him challenge us, encourage us, cause us to ponder and ultimately draw us closer to Himself!

With Bible, pen and notebook in hand we welcome you to be a part of this authentic community of teaching, discussion and small groups. Whether you’re new or returning, there’s a place for you here.  We can’t wait to meet you!
