Meeting Day and Time: Tuesday 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Via Zoom Only 

Course Description: Many of us struggle through seasons of bitterness, tears, and loss, wondering if there could ever be a happy ending to our stories. The story of Ruth affirms that, yes, there is hope. However, it's not found in a happy ending scribed by a novelist’s pen but in the power and protection of a sovereign God who never takes His eyes off us for even a moment.

Course Title: The Gospel of John 

Meeting Day & Time: Thursday, 6:00 p.m. Virtual Only 

Course Description: In this 7-session study on the Gospel of John, Melissa Spoelstra will encourage you to slow down and linger with the living Word. You’ll appreciate the pace of the Savior, who never hurried but completed all that the Father called Him to accomplish. As you turn the pages of John’s Gospel, you’ll be challenged to take on the posture of a learner—understanding that the peace Jesus offers is not an ease of circumstances but a stillness of the soul. As a result, you’ll grow in intimacy with Him and learn to live, serve, and rest in His peace.

Course Title: Acts

Meeting Day & Time: Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. In-Person and Virtually Room 104

Course Description: Big stories often grow from small beginnings. That’s certainly the story of the early church. From their roots in Jerusalem, first-century believers took the Great Commission seriously. As Acts 13-28 reveals, leaders like the apostle Paul and his missionary partners took the gospel to places it had not reached and shared the light of Jesus with people living in darkness. Their story is our story, and their message is our message. As we study the missionary movement of the early church, we’re reminded of our call to share the gospel—our responsibility to fulfill the Great Commission. (7 sessions)

Teacher: Elder Raymond Farr

Course Title: Elijah 

Meeting Day & Time: Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. Virtually Only 

Course Description: Eljah: Faith and Fire - (Priscilla Shirer) Every serious believer longs to summon up the kind of boldness and faith that can stand firm on Mount Carmel and pray down heaven into impossible situations. Yet few are willing to go through the process required to get them there. Strength of faith, character, and boldness can only be shaped in the hidden fires of silence, sameness, solitude, and adversity.

Teacher: Tangi Greene

This small group is for our teen girls who want to learn the value of modesty. Sometimes, we need to hear from the mothers about protecting themselves.
