UPCOMING EVENTS
Women’s Ministries
Come alongside other women every Tuesday, beginning February 3 as we study the book of Genesis. Witness image bearers who sin and wrestle to maintain trust in the only One who will fulfill every promise, the One for whom nothing is too hard. We will learn to see Jesus through the stories of His people and discover how the God of creation and covenant is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Sign ups are now available for the Winter Women's Ministries Events. Visit the Women's Ministries Page to sign up!
New Men’s Bible Study
The Men’s Bible Study will be starting a new book study, Raising a Modern Day Knight, on Tuesday, February 3 from 6:00 to 7:30. More times and dates may be added if the group gets big enough. This will be a 13-week study, and the cost is $15 to cover the book and study guide that will be included.
This study is for men of all ages, and you can sign up here.
NOTE: The current study on 1 Peter continues through January.
Raising a Modern Day Knight
Beginning with a biblical perspective of manhood, author-pastor Robert Lewis shares a unique approach to shaping a boy into a man by equipping him with three essential elements: a vision, a code of conduct, and a transcendent cause (Christianity) in which to invest his life.
