Grow First
GROW FIRST Bible studies are available throughout the week and on Wednesday evenings, with a meal beginning at 5:30. We also offer a variety of year-round grow groups and Sunday school classes.
Tuesday
Luke in the Land
10:00 - 12:00 | N116 | book cost $25 | taught by Christine Williams
In our Bibles, we have four Gospels describing Jesus’s time on earth: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The land of Israel—the place Jesus walked and taught during His earthly ministry—is often referred to as the “fifth Gospel.” Follow Kristi McLelland through Israel as we study snapshots from the Gospel of Luke to see where the stories of the Bible took place. This women's Bible study will meet on Tuesday mornings from 7 January through 4 March; it will not meet on the third Tuesday of each month.
Wednesday
Our Wednesday classes will resume beginning 22 January 2025!
Bible Together
5:15 - 5:45 | N116
Bible Together is an inclusive Bible study in which our entire church community, including all age groups, is invited to read and reflect on God’s Word. This experience encourages meaningful discussions and shared insights as we explore the Bible together. Let’s unite to grow in faith, learn from one another, and strengthen our bonds as a church family.
The Church and Mental Health
6:30 - 7:30 | taught by Pastor Josh
Where is the intersection between mental health and our faith, or our practice of our faith in community? Join Pastor Josh this Spring as we explore various topics on The Church and Mental Health using resources from the Church Mental Health Summit. Each class session will have a video presentation followed by reflective discussion.
Creed: What Christians Believe and Why
6:30 - 7:30 | book cost $19 | taught by Pastor Daniel
We’re all searching. Sometimes the search is easy: simply type a question and the answer pops up. But sometimes our questions are complicated, and the answers are difficult to see and harder to articulate. How do we discover and examine the truths that give meaning and purpose to life? Join Pastor Daniel as we explore the Apostles’ Creed, an early statement of foundational Christian beliefs. Using a book by Adam Hamilton, this class will consider important questions of life, reality, and truth.
Fit Faith
6:30 - 7:30 | N109 | taught by Tiffany Eslick
Join us for an hour of cardio-yoga, scripture, meditation, and prayer for a holistic approach to spirituality and well-being.
Social Justice Forum
6:30 - 7:30 | W110 | book cost $14 | facilitated by Chelsea Hodge
This semester we will be reading After the Last Border: Two Families and the Story of Refuge in America by Jessica Goudeau. After the Last Border situates a dramatic, character-driven story within a larger history – the evolution of modern refugee resettlement in the United States, beginning with World War II and ending with current closed-door policies – revealing not just how America's changing attitudes toward refugees has influenced policies and laws, but also the profound effect on human lives.

Bring a sack lunch and join Pastor Josh for this Hebrew Bible study exploring the Book of the Twelve, or the Twelve Prophets. We will use a book from the Immersion Bible Studies series.
