Women
Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you. 2 Cor. 13:11
Bunco Night!
Who am I? The question of identity is always at the back of our minds, and it’s currently at the forefront of social conversations. But the first question we need to ask is: Who is God? Then we can begin to consider, And who am I in light of who He is? In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul describes God as a merciful and forgiving Father who unites us in Christ and empowers us to live by the Spirit. We’re adopted children and fellow citizens with the saints because of God’s loving pursuit on our behalf.
In this 7-session study, Bible teachers, authors, and friends Jackie Hill Perry, Jasmine Holmes, and Melissa Kruger walk through the book of Ephesians, examining the invaluable truths Paul’s letter holds for us today. Along the way, they’ll help us understand the riches of our inheritance as daughters of our heavenly Father, as well as what it means to walk in a manner worthy of our calling.
All are welcome!

Bible studies
"Who am I becoming?" That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. Outwardly, he appeared successful, but inwardly, things weren't pretty. So he turned to a trusted mentor for guidance and heard these words: "Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life." It wasn't the response he expected, but it was-and continues to be-the answer he needs. Too often we treat the symptom of toxicity in our modern world instead of trying to pinpoint the cause. A growing number of voices are pointing to hurry, or busyness, as a root of much evil. Within the pages of this book, you'll find a fascinating roadmap to staying emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world.

Countless Christians are struggling with the never-ending chaos consuming our world. To find a way out of the overwhelm, we turn to our phones, social media, politics, and a million other little things, desperate for relief. But over time, these imposters leave us weak, weary, anxious, and starving. Now more than ever is the perfect time to examine what we are feeding our souls so that we can receive the sustenance we need.
