HEART Groups for Women
Childcare is not available.
HEART Groups will be small groups of 5-6 women meeting weekly discussing God’s Word and your interaction with it over the course of that previous week. These groups will guide women to take your copy of the Bible, read it for yourself, journal about it and grow in godliness from having been immersed in the living and active Word of God in a regular and meaningful way. The format of the study is adapted from Kandi Gallaty’s Disciple Her and Bible In A Year books.
For many ladies, this will take the place of a topical bible study and encourage you in a more inductive style of approaching God’s Word. Some women may choose this style of small group in place of other groups. HEART Groups meet at various times and locations throughout the week. Because of the group size, these ladies will be highly accountable to one another both for attendance and participation. This will allow the Lord to knit your hearts together in a very unique way. Cost: $10pp.
2024-25 Women's Book Club
Mama Bear Apologetics:
Empowering Your Kids to Challenge Cultural Lies
Starting January 8: Wednesdays 6:30 - 8:00 PM, Children’s activities available
The problem with lies is they don’t often sound like lies. They seem harmless, and even sound right. So what’s a Mama Bear to do when her kids seem to be absorbing the culture’s lies uncritically?
Mama Bear Apologetics
is the book you’ve been looking for. This mom-to-mom guide will equip you to teach your kids how to form their own biblical beliefs about what is true and what is false. Through transparent life stories and clear, practical applications—including prayer strategies—this band of Mama Bears offers you tools to train yourself, so you can turn around and train your kids.
Are you ready to answer the rallying cry, “Mess with our kids and we will demolish your arguments”? Join the Mama Bears and raise your voice to protect your kids—by teaching them how to think through and address the issues head-on, yet with gentleness and respect.
