Our mission is to develop fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. We center all we do on Christ. One way that we do this is by studying His Word, the Bible. We encourage everyone who walks through our doors to become a student of the Bible. These weekly Bible studies are a great way to dive into God’s Word and grow in your faith.
SUNDAY

This group meets at 10:00-11:00 am (during the second service) in The Chapel and is led by a team headed up by Carolyn Opderbeck. They are studying the book of Ruth.

Please contact Carolyn at rcopdrbk@optonline.net with any questions and for the Google Meet information.

Moms in Prayer
This group meets in the Church Library from 1:00-2:30 pm starting on January 13th. The vision of Moms in Prayer is that every school in the world would be covered with prayer. Would you prayerfully consider joining with other women in our church (mom and women who are not moms but have a heart to pray for our young people) to pray for the kids in our schools. With everything that is going on in our schools right now, we may feel like we are powerless to do anything. That is the farthest from the truth, we have an all powerful God to call upon. He is in control, and He is calling us to come together in prayer. This group meets on Mondays at 1:00 pm. This group has taken a break for the summer but will start up again in the fall when school starts. For more information, please contact Karen Verhoog at northeast@momsinprayer.org

Ladies in Touch
This group meets 7:00-8:00 pm in both the Chapel and online via Google Meet starting on January 21st. Our spring bible study is on the gospel of John 13-21. We will be using the book Be Transformed by Dr. Wiersbe. “How to pray, how to serve, how to overcome, how to love: Jesus taught the disciples these timeless lessons through hands-on experience and powerful parables that resonated in the hearts of multitudes. Most evident in John 13-21, however, is Christ’s teaching on the transforming power of joy — how to have it, hold onto it, and never let it go.” This study will be in-person and online.

Deep Roots

This study will walk through the book of Romans to discover that salvation doesn’t just change your eternal future; it changes your present reality. Because of God’s salvation, hope, peace, life, faith, trust, and endurance are yours. Learn that after God saves you, He invites you to join Him on His two-fold mission— to sanctify and transform you into the image of Jesus and to send you out into the world to share the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ. Our next study will start some time in February and will be announced ASAP.

Thursday Evening Women’s Bible Study
This group meets in the Lower Chapel from 7:00-8:30 pm starting on January 9th. Our spring bible study is a study of 1st Timothy and Titus, followed by a study of 2nd Timothy. We will be starting with the study entitled 1 Timothy & Titus: Fighting the Good Fight by John Stott. We live in a culture where the beliefs and preferences of the individual are given final authority. Paul’s firm commitment to the church as “the pillar and foundation of the truth” stands against the current. His letters to Timothy and Titus call us to reestablish the core beliefs of Christianity and affirm our convictions about the gospel. This study challenges readers to carry on in faithfully guarding and passing on the truth of the gospel. For more information, email Anita at ajoeckel@msn.com
