Led by Kathy Schell

Ladies, whether you’re new to the Bible or have been reading it for years, this 6-week class is designed to move you from uncertainty—or even routine—to deeper clarity and renewed confidence.

Book: Experiencing God by Henry T. Blackaby
Over the years God has used the truths of Experiencing God to awaken believers to a radically God-centered way of life.

Book: Luke in the Land by Kristi McLelland
The four written Gospels describe Jesus's time on earth: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The Land-the place Jesus walked and taught during His earthly ministry-is often referred to as the 'fifth Gospel'. The land speaks in its own way and reveals deeper understanding to the life of Christ. Challenge the way you read the accounts of Jesus in video teaching sessions that take you to locations in Israel like Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee, Gethsemane, Jerusalem, and the road to Emmaus. See how Jesus brought true hope to the world by following His footsteps in the Gospel of Luke.

Pursuit was created out of a desire to address the needs of women in the Church. We kick off Pursuit with Book 1, The Heart of a Disciple. In this you will reclaim the power of asking questions about the Bible and being curious, leaning into a hunger for God. We will move from waiting for deep relationships to prioritizing them. We will move from living for the smaller story to joining Him in His greater one. We will pursue having an intimate relationship with God that has access to transform who we are from the inside out.
Chronological Bible Studies
Studying the Bible chronologically puts the books, chapters, and verses of scripture in historical order. The benefits of reading the Bible this way helps us understand the story better. We gain a clearer and broader picture of the main character - God and we avoid major gaps in our understanding of God's redemptive plan for mankind. Starting at the beginning creates a foundation that allows His story to unfold progressively revealing who He is and His astonishing plan for humans. ALL classes use the NIV Daily Chronological Bible edited by F. LaGard Smith.
