Women's Bible Studies

Morning Classes | Wednesdays 9:00-11:00am

Join us on Wednesday mornings from 9:00-11:00 to dive into Scripture, become part of an engaged Christian community of women, and make new friends. We gather in 210/212 from 9:00-9:30 to connect, sing, and pray. At 9:30, we move to our individual classrooms. We hope to see you there!

If you are interested in joining the Creation, New Creation study, Kathie Stocker's group will resume meeting on January 7th in Life Center classrooms 210/212. This amazing study begins with Creation in the Book of Genesis, takes us through the Old and New Testaments, and ends with the wonder of a New Creation in the Book of Revelation. This is an amazing deep-dive into God's Creation and the New Creation He has for each one of His children. Kathie's group has amazing in-depth discussions; you will not want to miss out on this study! If you missed the first few sessions, do not worry. There is plenty of inspiring material left to study. Creation, New Creation books are $10.00. 

Debbie Baacke and Lori Knutson are going to team teach in Life Center classroom 216 when we regroup on January 7th. We will be diving into a new author for many of us and will be using Kristi McLelland's The Gospel on the Ground. This video-based, seven-session study is going to help us complete a deep dive into the "grit and glory" of the early church in Acts. The prayer is that this study will fire us up to be on mission through an examination of the early church, find our deep purpose and meaning at the table of God, and show us how God's redemptive purposes are unstoppable in the book of Acts. The book costs $25.00, and we are asking women to reach out to Lori by January 2nd so we can order enough books. We look forward to journeying into the early Church's story--and its implications for today--with you! 

All regular Women's Bible Study classes will resume on January 7th. If you have any questions, please contact Lori Knutson.


Everlasting - Journey Through Psalms & Holiday Brunch

Ladies, we have just two more mornings in Everlasting: Peaks, Valleys, and Grace in the Psalms. Join us December 10th and 17th from 9:30 to 11:00 in LC210 and 212 as we finish our journey through the Psalms with Christina Hergenrader and her new book Everlasting: Peaks, Valleys, and Grace in the Psalms.


We are going to wrap up our year of Bible study and time together on December 17th. Bring your favorite dish and join us in the Life Center at 11:30 for a potluck brunch. We'll enjoy good food, great conversation, and celebrate our Christian sisterhood. Christina Hergenrader is going to join us and have a table full of her amazing selection of books, so you can even get a little Christmas shopping done for yourself, a good friend, or a wonderful granddaughter! 


We look forward to seeing you on December 10th and 17th for Bible study and December 17th at 11:30 for our potluck brunch!

Text Message of Encouragement

Lord, the world wants to complicate faith. I want to learn and grow in my faith, but help me to keep things in perspective. Help me to have the faith of a small child. Let me sit at your feet with complete trust, hope, and joy. 

Want to discover more? Pour yourself a glass of milk, grab a bowl of animal crackers, and dive into Scripture. Check out Matthew 18:3; Mark 10:15; Luke 18:17; Matthew 19:14; John 6:37; Psalm 131:2; Proverbs 3:5; 1 Peter 5:7; Isaiah 43:4; Hebrews 11:1; Jeremiah 29:13, Psalm 119:105; and James 1:5.
