CURRENT STUDY:

EPHESIANS: GOD’S PURPOSE, POWER AND GLORY IN THE CHURCH
Is it just me or does it seem like all Hell has broken loose in the past few years?
Typically we have only heard dramatic stories of spiritual warfare in the Bible or in missionary stories from distant parts of the world, but nothing too crazy here in America. Until recently.
Demons are no longer the elusive theoretical beings whose reality we can basically ignore; they are literally dancing in the streets. Are the forces of darkness winning? Is Christianity failing? Is the Church prepared to face this? And what is our role as individual believers in this battle?
Heads up, Christian! We have been chosen, called, blessed, and gifted with grace. The gates of Hell tremble at the sight of the Church through the ages, empowered and equipped by the Holy Spirit—a mighty army of the redeemed, who know their identity in Christ and how to use the weapons of their warfare.
Some of the topics we will be diving into in our study on Ephesians are:
- Our Identity, Inheritance, and Hope in Christ
- The Work of the Trinity in Our Salvation
- The Gospel of Grace through Faith and the Place of Good Works
- The Wisdom of God on Display in the Church and Our Place in It
- The Reconciling Power of the Gospel
- Unity, Diversity, and Authority in Christian Community
- New Life, Mindset and Behavior of the Redeemed
- The Power of Truth
- The Reality of Spiritual Warfare
- Our Armor and Weapons to Fight the Powers of Darkness
Please join us weekly for study and fellowship. Bring your Bible. Materials are provided. Friends are always welcome.

OUR PHILOSOPHY OF MINISTRY
We believe that women need Jesus. Our lives are not about our social or financial status, our clothes, our appearance, our jobs, our homes, our righteousness or our perfection. Only Jesus saves. Only Jesus satisfies. Our purpose is to nurture women in their relationship with Jesus.
We believe that women need the Word of God. We need truth, encouragement, hope and support as we face the many challenges of life as singles, wives, mothers, grandmothers, sisters, daughters, neighbors, employers, employees, and friends. The Word of God is relevant in every stage and circumstance of our lives. It equips us to live our lives well and to minister the grace of God in a broken world. Our purpose is to study the Scripture and apply its truth and power to our lives.
We believe that women need other women. We need sisters and friends to walk with us in life. We need to share our struggles, our sorrows and our joys. We need the wisdom and counsel of older women who have been there. We need the support of Christian friends whose faith is real, who will listen, encourage, and pray for us. We need to belong, and we believe that each woman has something to contribute to our group. Our purpose is to nurture friendships among Christian women.
We believe that women need the church and the church needs women. As we minister to women and build them up in faith and friendship, we are strengthening not only individuals but also their families and the church. Our purpose is to equip and inspire women to live and minister well in their homes, in the church, and in the world.
OUR WOMEN
This is a safe, welcoming group of women. You will experience serious, in-depth teaching, intimate small group fellowship, and personal prayer.
Many women from outside the church are faithful members of our Bible Study. Come and make new friends who will support and encourage you in the faith. Women of all ages are welcome. Come as you are.
