BETTER - THE STUDY OF HEBREWS

Started January 13 || 6-8PM 

Facilitatior: Terri Marr

In this verse-by-verse 11 week study of the Book of Hebrews, Jen Wilkin explores how God “provided something better for us” in the person of Jesus Christ (Heb. 11:40). Through stories of Old Testament heroes and practices, the author of Hebrews demonstrates how the new covenant is superior to the old and how Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of every promise. Explore familiar verses in context of the entire Bible, learning how to place your hope and faith in Christ alone.

THE ARMOR OF GOD

Started January 14 || 9:30-11:30AM 

Facilitator: Jana Haugen

All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you — unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, your resilience, your dreams, your destiny. But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you're tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this 8 week study is for you. 

The enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion. The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer's inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory. 

THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT

Facilitator: Kerah Edelstein

In His sweeping depiction of kingdom citizenship, Jesus utters some of the most familiar passages in all of Scripture. Most of us have only encountered the Sermon on the Mount in fragments, considering its subdivisions as complete teachings in their own right—a study on blessedness; a reflection on the Lord’s Prayer; a discussion of religious devotion, money, ambition, and relationships.   

What if we navigated these three chapters in Matthew as they were originally heard? What if we read them as one cohesive, well-ordered message, intended to challenge us to think differently about what it means to be a follower of Jesus?   

This 9-session study will give you the opportunity to do just that. Come and learn from Jesus, just as His disciples did.

PREPARING FOR EASTER

Started January 14 || 9:30-11:30AM

Facilitator: Heidi Loomis

This newly written 10 week Bible study by Heidi Loomis will  compare the gospel accounts of the Passion events (e.g., preparation, Passover, arrest, crucifixion, burial, and resurrection), which includes an introduction of the gospels (how they are similar/different) and the OT prophecies for these events. Prepare your heart for Easter and the weeks leading up to it.

IMMERSE BIBLE READING GROUP - THE PROPHETS

Started January 14 ||  9:30-11:30AM

Facilitator: Michele Hawkins

The Prophets in the Old Testament made the Word of God known to the Israelites. This often involved their conviction of sin and their turning back to God in repentance and obedience. As the people of the prophets’ days placed their hope in Messiah who would come and save, we are blessed to be able to see the story unfold, and place our hope in Messiah who came and saved. Join us as we celebrate Jesus who fulfilled Old Testament prophecy!

Take time out of your busy life to be inspired by someone's story and go home refreshed and uplifted. 

​Living intentionally means purposefully pursuing the life God has called us to live. Come and hear stories from other women who are learning to be purposeful and deliberate in their pursuit of God, through the ups and downs of life. You'll walk away encouraged and full of hope in your God and His good hand over your life! A sit down dinner prepared by Chef Rassy will be served at 6:30PM, followed by our speaker portion of the evening in our main auditorium. Check the Events page for upcoming dinner opportunities and to secure your spot.

While a registration is required for dinner, anyone can join for the speaker portion free of charge.
