We strive to share the gospel with our children and our community and serve our church family with the gifts that each of us has been given.

SUmmer Study
Women's Summer Bible Study
Wednesdays from 9:30-11:30am | June 10 - July 29 (no class on June 17)
Led by Kathy Schell
Cost: $20
Childcare: $25 per child (ages 6 and under)
The beloved book of Ruth is a biblical story of loss, love and legacy that includes a bit of intrigue and a moving tale of love. We can see how loss can be replaced by Joy! In this study we'll examine Ruth's journey of unbearable loss, redeeming love, and divine legacy. Best of all, we see throughout the book how God proves Himself faithful as the One who rescues, revives, and restores. Participants may purchase the book at this link.

Chronological Bible Study
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 the human race. ALL classes use the NIV Daily Chronological Bible edited by F. LaGard Smith. It can be purchased on Amazon at this link.
You do not have to take the classes in order.
PART 1: IN THE BEGINNING

Cost: $20

Explore the origins of the people of God, the birth of the nation of Israel, and their place in God's redemptive plan.
