Women's Fall bible studies

Fellowship Women's Bible Studies are selected to meet you where you are in your spiritual journey. We have provided categories to help you choose the studies that are right for you. Remember to start everything with the destination in mind. Our collective purpose is to go and make disciples. Just as with the original twelve, growing in intimacy with Christ is meant for our good but his glory. As you review study options, consider this pathway for growing in your knowledge of the Word, deepening your relationship with the Lord, and walking out the path of discipleship. Registration will be available starting July 28.

You don't have to be a new believer to start here. Understanding the gospel and the greater narrative of scripture is foundational for every believer. We never move past the gospel because it is the lens through which we understand a compelling relationship with God.

Have you read the gospel accounts side by side, story by story? Join Tracey King in her home for a chronological study of the Gospels. You will read through all four gospels as part of your personal reading and review them systematically weekly together as a means of understanding the life of Jesus and the development of early Christianity.

Study

Being a follower of Christ means growing in gospel literacy. Take time to study individual books and/or concepts and always seek to learn more about the heart of God. What you learn will clarify his redemptive story.

Revelation by Jen Wilkin
Tuesday pm - 6:15 pm - 8:00 pm (Karis Murila and Maddie Steele) - OFF CAMPUS
Wednesday am - 9:30 am - 11:00 am (Jessica Sadler)
August 14th (11 Weeks)
Cost - $20

Perhaps no other book of the Bible feels as inaccessible and as intimidating to us as the very last one. The book of Revelation overflows with images and ideas that confound our modern ears. But if all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable, we should assume Revelation is as accessible and helpful as any other book of the Bible. Why don’t we see it that way?
Two thousand years ago, John’s Revelation was circulated and read aloud among seven churches in Asia Minor. Those who heard the letter understood it and drew encouragement from its message. The same can be true for you today. Over 10 sessions of verse-by-verse Bible study, Jen Wilkin helps you discover how the last book of the Bible—the culmination of God's great story—speaks both a steadying word of assurance and a strong call to endure to the church in every age.

2 Corinthians ($20)
Wednesday am - 9:30 am - 11:00 am (Pam Ramsey and Tina Elaqua)
August 14th (11 Weeks)
Cost - $20
Second Corinthians is a book about ministry, various kinds of ministry. But in the midst of ministry, sometimes Christians are burdened beyond strength, despairing of life, having fears within and conflicts without. How do we cope with those things? This book tells us how to be strong in the Lord when accusations and persecutions are directed toward us, how to have confidence in Him and not lose heart, and even how to correct those who are our accusers.

REFINE

Jesus transforms our lives through a personal relationship with him. Change happens when we allow more of our lives to model his. Look for studies that help you grow and refine spiritual disciplines, like prayer, sabbath, and story work.
Hope Beyond Loss: A Biblical Framework for Processing and Surviving Loss
Sunday, 9:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. (Tina Elacqua)
September 15th (10 Weeks)
Barn Conference Room
Cost - $20

 
Life is hard and Christians are not spared pain, agony, or loss. Hope Beyond Loss is a 10-week session designed to give sacred space to process heart-breaking events that may look like
infertility, loss of babies and children, divorce, ailing health, financial challenges and loss, addictions, death of loved ones, and even loss of job/career/ministry. However, do not walk this life alone.  Join Tina Elacqua and other compassionate sisters as they provide support and tangible resources to walk with you through grief and healing grounded in the Hope of Christ.
When you process your loss through a biblical worldview with safe and trusted Christian women, you will not only persevere, but you will look more like Jesus.

pRACTICE

The Kingdom of God is communal. The greatest commandments show us that the church is to operate as an outpost of heaven. Part of growing as believers is practicing what we are learning independently with other believers while building one another up in love.

Practicing the Way
Wednesday pm - 6:15pm - 8:00pm - Kelly Elliot
August 14 (8 weeks)
Cost - $20


We are constantly being formed by the world around us. To be formed by Jesus will require us to become his apprentice.

To live by what the first Christian disciples called a Rule of Life - a set of practices and relational rhythms that slow us down and open up space in our daily lives for God to do what only God can do - transforms the deepest parts of us to become like him.

The introduction to spiritual formation is full of John Mark Corner's trademark mix of theological substance and cultural insight as well as practical wisdom on developing your own Rule of Life.  

These ancient practices have much to offer us. By learning to rearrange our days, we can follow the Way of Jesus. We can be with him. Become like him. And do as he did. 

GO

We should start everything with the destination in mind. Our collective purpose is to go and make disciples. Just as with the original twelve, growing in intimacy with Christ is meant for our good but His glory. Look for studies that prepare you to live out the great commission.
