Bible Study: The Gospel of John by Melissa Spoelstra
January 8 – February 19
Time: 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Registration: November 1 – December 16
Cost: $22.00
Leader: Sharon Williams
Description: Melissa 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.
Bible Study: Luke In the Land – Walking with Jesus in His First-Century World by Kristi McLelland
January 8 – February 19
Time: 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Registration: November 1 – December 16
Cost: $25.00
Leader: Rita Gibson
Description: Follow Kristi McLelland through Israel as we study snapshots from the Gospel of Luke to see where the stories of the Bible took place. Over 7 sessions, challenge the way you read the accounts of Jesus through teaching videos that take you to locations in Israel like Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee, Gethsemane, Jerusalem, and the road to Emmaus. Along the way, you’ll see how Jesus, the Messiah, brought His kingdom to earth for everybody.
Bible Study: Esther by Kelly Minter
January 8 – February 19
Registration: November 1 – December 16
Time: 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm
Cost: $23.00
Leader: Miki Martin
Description: In this 7-session study, Kelly Minter invites you into the daring faith modeled by Esther and her cousin Mordecai-a faith rooted in the goodness of God, lived out through ordinary circumstances, and used to change the world. Although our time looks different from Esther’s, our God is just as active and faithful today, and He has called you for such a time as this.
Bible Study: Daniel 2 – Gaining Understanding of the Time of the End
February 26 – May 14
Time: 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Registration: November 1 – December 16
Cost: $22.00 "Precept Upon Precept" or "In and Out” – $20.00
Leader: Mindy Barrett/Monica Hardy
Description: What if the words of a prophet living 2,500 years ago could equip you with a plan, purpose, and hope in the midst of our chaotic world today? Join us as we begin a study of the book of Daniel and learn to adopt a biblical worldview and adhere to it even when it's not the norm.
Students who are unable to commit to the level of homework in this Precept Upon Precept study may wish to choose the corresponding "In & Out" workbook, which covers the same material with less homework.
Spring 2025 bible studies
Bible Study: Heaven by Jennifer Rothschild
April 2 – May 14
Time: 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm
Registration: November 1 – December 16
Cost: $22.00
Leader: Stephanie Schinnerer
Description: In this 7-session study, Jennifer Rothschild explores the subject of Heaven from a biblical perspective. She will separate what’s true about Heaven from what’s based on legend, media depictions, and hopeful guesses. You’ll get a clearer understanding of what God has
prepared for His children once this life is over. Although it’s impossible to answer all our questions about Heaven, what we learn from Scripture makes it possible to live with an informed faith that helps us face the future with confidence and live on mission in the present.
