The Bible is so important to the Christian life\, that all of us should be Bible students. We should know for ourselves where the Bible came from\, how to read it\, what is its main theme\, and how to use its teachings in our lives daily. This Course will focus on the Discovery Methodical Bible Study Method. \n  \nTUESDAY CLASSES:\nMaster Life III & IV: This course is designed to help students discover and understand what it means to be a Disciple of Jesus Christ. In Book 3\, The Disciple’s Victory\, you will focus on victory in spiritual warfare. In Book 4\, The Disciple’s Mission\, you will take the next stage in your discipleship journey by learning what it means to “go and make disciples of all nations.” (Matthew 28:19) \nNew Testament Survey: Gospel and Acts: The foundation for the New Testament is found in the four Gospels and Acts. The rest of the New Testament cannot be understood apart from this historical section. Four portraits of Jesus’ life\, message and mission are examined as recorded in the Gospels. The book of Acts will be discussed regarding the immense impact of the early Church’s thrust to change the world. The course goals are for you to understand the theme of each book and to find new ways to apply the life-changing truths to your life. \n  \nOops! We could not locate your form.

This spring\, join an online cohort designed for women seeking to grow in faith and leadership. With a variety of topics- including thriving as a working woman\, raising godly kids\, teaching the Bible\, leading in ministry\, and a study of the Book of John- there’s a place for you. \nConnect with other women\, gain wisdom\, and be equipped to live out your calling. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n THIS SPRINGS COHORTS:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n How the Gospel Shapes Young Moms\n Mondays\, 6:30PM \n The Gospel is the heart behind the Christian life\, but young moms rarely get to see how it actively shapes their current identity\, parenting\, and relationships. Join us for a six week study of discovering how Jesus’ victory and your redemption aren’t simply a past reality\, but a present rescue and mission as you navigate the early stages of parenting. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Discipleship Study Through John\n Tuesdays\, 12:00PM \n This study will help you navigate the Gospel of John with intentionality\, fostering deep relationships through shared learning\, accountability\, and spiritual growth. With each session\, you’ll explore scripture\, cultivate spiritual disciplines\, and discover how discipleship can create a ripple effect for God’s Kingdom. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Why\, God?\n Tuesdays\, 7:00PM \n Have you ever found yourself asking God that question? We’ve all had moments or long seasons where that question has been whispered\, written in a journal\, or shouted toward the ceiling while tears streamed down our face as we tried to make sense of the brokenness all around us. As women who love Jesus\, we don’t have a hall pass for suffering. But what we do have is a gentle and lowly Savior who suffered the most and gives us exactly what we need as we walk through our own suffering. \nAsking why isn’t wrong and the Lord wants our why’s. He wants it all. But there’s more to suffering than just asking why. \nIf you’ve ever asked God why\, or maybe you’re asking Him now\, let’s spend six weeks asking Him together while also examining scripture to see what it looks like to suffer well and how we can apply it to our own season of suffering. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n How To Be A Workplace Missionary: Gospel Fundamentals for Working Women\n Tuesdays\, 7:30PM \n Step into your divine calling with confidence and grace! God has placed many of us in the secular workplace for a profound purpose. Discover how to embrace and flourish in this special role as we explore Gospel fundamentals designed to encourage\, equip\, and empower us to be the missionary He’s called us to be in our workplace.
