STUDIES & CLASSES
Helping you get connected as you learn and grow as a disciple.
We offer a variety of studies and classes to meet you where you are in your discipleship journey. Here are some studies and classes we are offering!
LITTLE EXPLORERS: MOM’S BIBLE STUDY
BODY & SOUL
Thursdays Beginning January 22 • 6:30 – 8:00 pm • Room 215 (Bldg A)
Living Fully as God’s Masterpiece
Join us for a 7-week Moms’ Bible Study as we dive into Body and Soul by Lisa Whittle. In a world that constantly tells us to “fix” our bodies, this study invites us to see ourselves through God’s eyes. Together, we’ll explore what Scripture says about our bodies—from creation to Revelation—and learn to embrace who we are as women beautifully created in His image.
The Study Guide can be found on Amazon or Lifeway

BIBLE STUDY FELLOWSHIP
Tuesdays • 7:00 – 8:30 pm • Building C
This year’s BSF study, Exile and Return, invites both men and women on a powerful journey through the Old Testament—exploring how God’s people built His kingdom while living in a foreign land. Their story is our story. As followers of Christ living in a broken world, we too are called to build for His glory.
We’re excited to offer BSF groups for women this fall! This is an opportunity for women to participate in this life-changing study alongside our men’s groups—making it even easier to grow in faith together.
Participants in BSF may also enroll their children (ages 6–18) in the BSF Student Program, which covers the same scripture in an age-appropriate way.
Register your family today.
To register for the study, visit the BSF website at bsfinternational.org select the “Find A Group” option, and follow the instructions.
