- Current Study: 🍯 Sweeter than Honey, A Women’s Bible Study on Enjoying God in His Word – Begins Sep. 7th
- Our lives feel stuffed to the brink, overrun by work and home responsibilities, overwhelmed by jam-packed schedules, and overly distracted by the siren call of our smartphones. It’s no wonder that we struggle to spend time in God’s Word, or that when we do, we don’t know where to start. Instead of a momentary delight, we need soul-satisfying sustenance from our Bible reading that fuels our deep longing to grow in godliness.
In Sweeter than Honey, Gretchen Saffles and Maggie Combs of Well-Watered Women teach us the value of studying God’s Word while providing the tools to apply it to your life. Discover three principles that can be applied every time you open God’s Word: gather knowledge, digest the big ideas, and grow in godliness. As you develop these principles, you’ll experience the challenging but transformative work of building a deeper relationship with God through the pages of his Word. - The study guide is $12 and will be available in class.

- Season of Life: Young Adults
- Current Study: “Practice the Way” by John Mark Comer
- We are constantly being formed by the world around us. To be formed by Jesus will require us to become his apprentice.
To live by what the first Christian disciples called a Rule of Life—a set of practices and relational rhythms that slow us down and open up space in our daily lives for God to do what only God can do—transforms the deepest parts of us to become like him.
This introduction to spiritual formation is full of John Mark Comer’s trademark mix of theological substance and cultural insight, as well as practical wisdom on developing your own Rule of Life.
These ancient practices have much to offer us. By learning to rearrange our days, we can follow the Way of Jesus. We can be with him. Become like him. And do as he did.

Season of Life: Intergenerational Adults
Current Study: Nehemiah: Prayer That Builds
The Book of Nehemiah is more than a leadership manual or a blueprint for rebuilding—it’s a story built on prayer. Prayer shaped the man before it raised the wall. For four months, Nehemiah wept, fasted, and sought God, and the result was a city’s walls that were rebuilt in fifty-two days!
Join us as we walk slowly through Nehemiah, learning how courageous prayer reforms us, renews communities, and rebuilds lives. Whether you’re brand-new to Bible study or a seasoned veteran, you’re invited—come listen, learn, and pray with us. And may God challenge us all through the life of a real man with a broken heart and a desperate dream.

- Current Study: Life Lessons from 1, 2, 3 John and Jude: Living and Loving by Truth
- These letters are full of insights and direction, along with warnings and encouragement… all based on these two words. These words remind us that God supplies all we need. That there is a real purpose to generosity. There are times to be tolerant and times to take a stand. That faith includes certainties. Love and truth remind us of the life-changing power of the gospel message. Want a guide on how to live? Study John and Jude’s letters of love and truth.
- As you read, study, journal, and discuss the books of John and Jude, watch for these key themes that Max will unpack throughout the book:
- Our obedience in faith keeps us in fellowship with God.
- God will forgive our sins.
- We can measure any truth by where it places Jesus in relation to God.
- God’s love and Christ’s victory are the Christian’s inheritance.

- Current Study: Revelation – Bible Study Book with Video Access: Eternal King, Everlasting Kingdom by Jen Wilkin
- Perhaps no other book of the Bible feels as inaccessible and as intimidating to us as the very last one. The book of Revelation overflows with images and ideas that confound our modern ears. But if all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable, we should assume Revelation is as accessible and helpful as any other book of the Bible. Why don’t we see it that way?
- Two thousand years ago, John’s Revelation was circulated and read aloud among seven churches in Asia Minor. Those who heard the letter understood it and drew encouragement from its message. The same can be true for you today. Over 10 sessions of verse-by-verse Bible study, Jen Wilkin helps you discover how the last book of the Bible—the culmination of God’s great story—speaks both a steadying word of assurance and a strong call to endure to the church in every age.
- Verse-by-verse study of the book of Revelation
- 10 video teaching sessions unpacking truths found throughout the study and offering additional insights, available via redemption code printed in the Bible study book
- 9 weeks of personal study featuring illuminating questions to help you focus on and understand Scripture
- Benefits:
- Learn how to read and understand the language and symbols of apocalyptic writing
- Move from confused to confident, anxious to assured, and intimidated to inspired as you study the end times
- Understand Revelation as the culmination of God’s great story

- In a life filled with uncertainty, former missionary Elisabeth Elliot clung to the God who never left her side. Through the deaths of two husbands, a life of travel and danger, and raising her daughter as a single parent, God provided Elliot with a security that could not have come from relying on the world.

Current Study: Finding God Faithful by Kelly Minter – Study the Life of Joseph in the Book of Genesis
Have you ever wondered why you are in certain situations, when you thought life should be different? You should have had a different path? You feel off course? In the midst of hardship, tragedy, and unanswered questions, it’s difficult to glimpse God at work. How do we hold onto our faith during these times? How do we trust God is working all things for our good and His glory?
We will trace the path of Joseph’s life in the Book of Genesis to observe how God’s sovereignty reigns, even in our darkest moments. Learn to recognize when God is working during periods of waiting, trust God’s plan when life doesn’t make sense, and rest in the sufficiency of His presence in every circumstance. His provision is enough, His presence is constant, and His purpose is unstoppable.

- Current Study: Angels Finding Hope in God by Melissa Spoelstra
- The Bible speaks of angels often. They were present in the garden of Eden, and throughout the story of the Bible they appear to people with messages, encouragement, and tangible help. Angels ministered to Jesus after His temptation and before His crucifixion, and they shared the good news of His resurrection. Despite their frequent appearance in God’s Word, our impression of angels is more often shaped by the myths and misconceptions that have developed over the centuries.
- In this 8-session Bible study, join Melissa Spoelstra as she traverses the terrain of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation to learn about angels—who they are, what they do, and what they have to do with you. There’s no reason to fear or ignore what’s happening in the supernatural, unseen realm—we can live with confidence that God is in control of it all. Angels is a call to put your hope in the God of angel armies who reigns over heaven and earth.
