  • "The Surpassing Value of Knowing Christ" Women's Bible Study
    Jan. 9 - Feb. 13 | 9:30 a.m. | AE 3103
    The apostle Paul was an extraordinary individual by any measure. From the moment he was introduced to Jesus by name in a blinding flash of light to his final days chained like an animal in a Roman dungeon, he relentlessly pursued Christ and preached the gospel entrusted to him. Paul’s fervor could not be starved, smothered nor drowned. Come along with Beth and
    Melissa in this four-week, five-session study of Philippians. By the power of the same Holy Spirit who took the gospel to Europe by way of Philippi, discover what Paul magnificently called, The Surpassing Value of Knowing Christ. Susann Smith will be facilitating this fascinating class. 
    "Acts: Awakening to God in Everyday Life" Women's Study
    Wednesdays, Jan. 11 - Feb. 15 | 6 to 7 p.m. | Evans Hall Rm 2235
    Whether it’s because of distractions, busyness, or a case of the blahs, we can experience a drift toward indifference in our spiritual lives. We have a need for an ongoing spiritual awakening if we want to become more aware of God’s presence and activity in our everyday lives.

    In "Acts: Awakening to God in Everyday Life," a six-week study of the Book of Acts by Melissa Spoelstra, you will journey with the first followers of Jesus and witness the birth and growth of the early church through spiritual awakening to the power of God’s Spirit, message, freedom, grace, mission, and direction.

    Join facilitator Kara Hayter for this six-week journey through the book of Acts.​
    New to the Community and Now What?
    Begins Jan. 17 | 9:30 a.m.
    This class is for any woman who has recently moved from her family and friends and is experiencing a myriad of emotions that moving to a different and/or unfamiliar area can cause. During this seven-week study, we’ll help you acclimate yourself to your new surroundings and hope that you’ll form long-lasting friendships with others who are facing similar feelings. Facilitated by June Love and Nicole Egli, this class begins on Tuesday, Jan. 17. Join us for an inviting study based on the book, "After the Boxes are Unpacked, Moving on After Moving In" by Susan Miller. Before the class starts, please purchase the book from the Just Moved Store (justmovedshop.com) or Amazon. We’ll go through the book during our study, so reading ahead isn’t necessary. Registration is required for this class and is available on the church website. Childcare will be provided if needed.
    How Much More Women's Bible Study
    Jan. 12 - Feb 23 | 9:30 - 11 a.m. | Room 2235
    Maybe your head knows that God is always good, but your heart’s not so sure. Or perhaps while reading Scripture, you’ve wondered if our Creator Redeemer went through a personality change—from strictly enforcing the rules in the Old Testament to loving the outcast in the New!

    In this 7-session Bible study, you’ll discover divine love in the often overlooked and misunderstood passages. And you’ll be delighted to find that Jehovah of the Old Testament is the same redemptive and compassionate God we see through Jesus Christ in the New Testament. He has always been and will always be for us! Join facilitator Rev. Joy Roberson on Thursday mornings.
    Encountering God Women's Bible Study
    Jan. 12 - Feb 23 | 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. | Room 3204
    Spiritual disciplines are essential to a more vibrant spiritual life and knowing God more intimately.
    With facilitator Val Reed, join Kelly Minter in this 7-session Bible study as she unpacks the biblical foundation for these sacred habits along with approachable ways to practice disciplines like prayer, study, worship, rest, simplicity, generosity, celebration, and many more. Instead of being just one more thing on your to-do list, you’ll find that these habits of faith can actually create more margin in your life—providing peace and rest as you walk closer with Jesus.
