Bible Studies & Small Groups

Christians grow best when they worship together, grow through study and small groups and serve amongst our neighbors. We encourage you to look through this list of small groups and studies and get involved. If you’re already active in worship, let’s take the next step and grow together.


Most of our Bible studies and small groups run for about six weeks in either the fall or spring. Sunday School classes for all ages meet every Sunday at 9:40 a.m. We also encourage everyone to "band together" and become part of a small group. Groups can be as small as three people, and you can meet in person or electronically. Learn more about banding together

  • "RECLAIMING JOY" STUDY

    Are you involved in a quarrelsome or contentious relationship that is keeping you stressed and on guard? Are you holding on to bitterness from the past? Does online bickering make you anxious? Do you feel stuck in a place that is stealing your joy?


    Susan Eaton will offer two options for this study on "Reclaiming Joy." The class will be offered on Sundays at 4 p.m., starting March 9, and Mondays at 10 a.m., starting March 10.

    ​

    This study of Genesis 26 will help you explore where you might be stuck. It will ask you to address some common attitudes, habits and behaviors that are preventing you from living the life of joy God desires for you.

    ​

    After taking this journey you will:​

    • understand how ineffective and damaging fear is in your life
    • recognize where you might be making assumptions about others
    • discern whether you may need to exit a toxic relationship or environment
    • be equipped to express kindness and love to difficult people
    • be positioned to forgive those who have hurt you

  • "LIVING WITH PURPOSE IN A POLARIZING WORLD"

    We live in an increasingly polarized world. Some Christians feel under siege, and some common reactions include fitting in, withdrawing, fear, anger or seeking power. However, none of these align with the words of Micah (seek justice, love mercy, walk humbly); Jeremiah (seek the good of the city) or Jesus (let your light shine before others).


    Join Randy Pope, co-author of "Living with Purpose in a Polarizing World," for an eight-week study, which begins Sunday, Feb. 2, at 5:30 p.m. in Room 305. Together, we’ll explore practical takeaways and Biblical lessons for thriving today. Through the lives of 12 Biblical characters, you’ll uncover lessons on resilience, joy and faith that are highly relevant to our contemporary challenges and examine their workplace lives, exploring how they represented their faith and how we can apply that to our own circumstances.


    This study will help you:

    • Navigate your workplace with Biblical wisdom and integrity.
    • Learn from the resilience and faith of Biblical figures.
    • Implement practical strategies for maintaining your faith in challenging environments.
    • Foster unity and grace in your interactions, both personally and professionally.

    We hope you’ll participate in this study and be inspired to seek justice, love mercy and walk with God as we seek the good of our city and continue being the salt and light of the world.
