Our book study during the Winter/Spring will be S.H.A.P.E- Finding and Fulfilling Our

Unique Purpose for Life by Erik Rees.

S.H.A.P.E. is an acronym that stands for Spiritual gifts, Heart (passions), Abilities,

Personality, and Experiences. Each of us has been uniquely designed by God for a

particular mission/ministry in this world and understanding our own unique S.H.A.P.E.

helps us to discover that divinely ordained path.

We are starting a new study called Jesus and Women by Kristi McLelland.

"Imagine walking the dusty roads of Galilee with Jesus of Nazareth—braving jostling crowds just to touch the edge of His cloak and hear Him say, “Take heart, daughter, your faith has healed you.”

Those words, once meant to comfort a hurting woman’s soul thousands of years ago, were also meant for you.

Join biblical culturalist Kristi McLelland on those dusty roads as she transports you back to Jesus’ world, following in the footsteps of the women who came face-to-face with the Living God. Over 7 sessions, examine the historical and cultural climate of first-century Middle Eastern society to not only understand Jesus more deeply but to fuel your worship of Him today."

This is a 7 week study with videos and a study guide that will help you grow in your personal relationship with Jesus. Our first meeting will be a casual introduction to the book and a time for fellowship. Bring a friend and join us!

Jesus and Women: In the First Century and Now by Kristi McLelland

Sunday  5pm // Conference Room

Geared towards women who are single, newly married, or have young children, this study opportunity takes advantage of Wednesday Night Children's activities to give young women an opportunity for discipleship and fellowship. 

This semester we will study "The Call" which focuses on the call that all Christians have to bear fruit in their families, careers, and friendships.

Wednesday 6pm // Fireside Room

Our desire is for this midweek Service of Prayer, led by Tim Marsh and Tommy Cox, to be different than what we think of when we think of prayer meetings. While we will pray for the needs of our church family and friends, we will also pray for our church, our community, our country, and our world. We will learn to pray from the prayers of Scripture, from the prayers of Christ followers down through the centuries, and from each other’s prayers.

Prayer is the most important spiritual discipline. It is powerful. And, it makes a difference!

Wednesday 6pm // Easterby Chapel

S.O.A.P. = Scripture. Observation. Application. Prayer. 

We know that schedules can be busy and can keep you from participating in one of our in person studies. That's why we offer Our Daily S.O.A.P., a self paced guided study of scripture. When you signup, you will receive a daily email that focuses on a different chapter of scripture. During your devoted quite time - whether that be early in the morning, in the carpool line or when the house becomes quiet at night -  read the scripture. Take time to listen to how God is speaking to you. Apply this in your own personal stage in life. Pray. Each email includes a example of someone's personal S.O.A.P. to help you get started.
