Women
We're a community of women of all ages - single, married, and moms - who want to grow in faith, build friendships, and serve our community for Jesus. We strive to share the gospel with our children and our community and serve our church family with the gifts which each of us has been given.

2022-23 Groups
Summer Bible Study
Wednesdays from 9:30-11:30am | June 7 - July 19
Join us this summer for the 7-week study "No Other Gods" by Kelly Minter. We'll learn to identify the functional gods we're tempted to serve daily and the lies they tell. Only when we learn to dethrone modern day idols can we pursue a deeper, more meaningful relationship with Jesus. This is an interactive video study with plenty of time for discussion in groups each week. Participants will need to purchase the study workbook at this link. Registration is required.
Childcare is available for ages 4 and under. Register your kids here.
Neighborhood Bible Study
Wednesdays 10:00am-12:30pm at Highlands beginning September 7th
This is a no-homework class for women who want to grow in their knowledge of the Bible. We will answer such questions as What is the Bible? Where did it come from? How do we know it’s true? Why are there so many translations? How can we study the Bible to hear God’s voice in our lives through its pages? And much more. Neighborhood friends, relatives, coworkers and skeptics who are not familiar with faith and have questions about the Bible will be Welcome! Pack a brown bag and plan to stay for lunch on the patio each week.
Chronological Bible Study
By studying the Bible ordered chronologically, we gain a clearer and broader picture of God and His 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 the human race. All classes require the NIV Daily Chronological Bible edited by F. LaGard Smith. It can be purchased on Amazon at this link. We also strongly recommend purchasing the Satellite Bible Atlas.

Additional Women's Groups
Keller "Flourish" Group
Mondays at 6:30pm
As women of all ages making our way through this sometimes messy and often broken life, God’s Word provides great wisdom and encouragement. Led by Sana Keller, we are a group of women growing and flourishing together in our love and understanding of His Word and His plan for our lives. The heart of our "flourish" group is to see women being firmly rooted in God’s Word and walking daily in His truth. We will grow in our understanding of the Bible, prayer, our identity in Christ, our calling, godly relationships, and living a life of gratitude. This class will continue through the school year, with breaks over holidays, and includes light reading and brief daily reflection time.
This group meets in the Adult Special Needs Room of the Student Building. You can also pick up a copy of our study book, Flourish: A Mentoring Journey at this link.
Lang and Ringwald BIBLE STUDY Group
Tuesdays at 6:30pm
We are a group of women ranging in age from 40's to 70's at all different stages of life and families. We are reading through the Bible chronologically, and will be starting the New Testament in October. We read the passages at home then discuss what we’ve observed. Our goal is to “do life” together, by growing closer to God through Bible reading and discussion. We make our group meetings a priority, and pray for and encourage each other. In addition to our weekly meetings at church we’ll occasionally meet other times and places to stay connected socially and grow friendships. This group meets in the Office Building South Conference Room.
MORFIT / THIBAULT GROUP
Wednesdays at 6:30pm
This women's group will meet weekly to spend time together in the Highlands sermon series discussing and applying the message to their lives, praying for and encouraging one another. We meet in the Worship Center Green Room (backstage area).
LANK PRAYER GROUP FOR MOMS OF ADULT CHILDREN
Mondays at 6:45pm
This group is for moms with adult children (especially in the college and young career age) to come together to pray over our adult children. We will be using the book Praying Scripture for Your Adult Children by Jodie Berndt. The book is available on Amazon, but is also optional. This is not a discussion group - our focus is specifically on a time of intentional prayer together.
Parenting Group
Sundays at 12:15pm
Looking for support and practical ways to handle parenting challenges? Join us as we study Paul David Tripp's book, Parenting: 14 gospel principles that can Radically change your family. Feeling pressure to do everything “right” and raise up “good” children can make us lose sight of our ultimate purpose as parents in the quest for practical tips and guaranteed formulas. Paul Tripp's book gives us a big-picture view of God's calling and plan for parents centered around God's grace. Led by Susan Fox, meets in the Red Room of the Highlands Kids Building. You may purchase the book online here: https://store.paultripp.com/collections/parenting-resources/products/parenting-14-gospel-principles-that-can-radically-change-your-family-book
Highlands Moms Group
Tuesdays at 9:30am
Our goal is to encourage moms of kids of all ages to grow in their understanding of who God is, help build community with one another, and come alongside each other with support as they raise their children. Our hope is that by providing a regular time to connect, moms would grow in their person faith, be encouraged by one another, and find their village who will walk with them through the joys and challenges of family. Childcare is available!
