Daniel and the Post-Exile Prophets
Teacher: Jeremy Griggs | Wednesdays, 6–7p | RM 104-105 |
Join us for a detailed Bible study starting with Daniel and moving to the prophets. These books include a journey through some of the most hope-filled and courageous writings in Scripture. These books were written during a time of deep national crisis, when God’s people were either in exile or just beginning to rebuild their lives after it. Through Daniel’s uncompromising faith and the bold words of prophets like Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi, we see God’s sovereignty, faithfulness, and call to holiness even in uncertain times. This study will challenge us to trust God’s purposes, live with integrity, and long for His coming kingdom. This is an open Bible study and you can join at any time.
Advent
Teacher: Ryan McBride | Wednesdays, 6–7:30 pm | Ridgedale Room | Starts Nov 19th
Join us for a focused two-week Advent Bible study as we prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ. Together we’ll explore the hope, peace, joy, and love that Jesus brings into our waiting. These sessions are designed to help you slow down, reflect deeply, and enter the Christmas season with renewed wonder and worship.
Young Couples Class: “The Rhythm of Us”
Teachers: Bret and LeAnn Alexander | Wednesdays, 6–7:30 pm | Room 402 |
Engaged and young married couples are invited to grow in their faith and build meaningful community each week in the Young Couples class. Led by Bret and LeAnn Alexander, this welcoming group offers a relaxed, Christ-centered environment to dive into Scripture, grow spiritually, and strengthen your relationship with each other and with God. Whether you’re newly engaged or navigating the early years of marriage, you’re not alone—come grow with us! We will study through the series “The Rhythm of Us” to help create intentional rhythms that lead to thriving, God-glorifying marriages.

Genesis
Teacher: Joy Norton | Wednesdays, 6–7:30p | Room 114-115 | 12 weeks
The book of Genesis is foundational to the whole Bible, and to every human life. Genesis tells us who God is, who we are, how things went wrong, and the plan that God has put in place to return the earth to the way it was meant to be.
This study will help us see how the storyline of Genesis foreshadows and connects to the good news about Jesus, and offers penetrating exegetical insights for those of us seeking to better understand God’s plan to bring blessing to all nations. This is an open class for all ages and you can start attending at any time. It is lecture and discussion-based.
The Armor of God
Teacher: Kelli Oder | Wednesdays, 5–6p | Hospitality Room | $10
In this Bible study, we will explore the Armor of God as described in Ephesians 6, learning how God equips His people to stand firm in everyday spiritual battles. Using clear biblical teaching and helpful visual tools, this study breaks down each piece of armor and shows how it applies to our daily walk with Christ. As we study together, you’ll grow in discernment, confidence, and faith, learning not just what the armor is, but how to actively put it on as you follow Jesus. This class is open to all ages, you may join at any time, and the format is lecture- and discussion-based, designed to be accessible and engaging for everyone.
Galatians
Teacher: Kim Nichols | Thursdays, 9:30-11a | Starts Jan 8th | Ridgedale Room | $10
In this Bible study, we will walk through the book of Galatians, exploring the heart of the gospel and the freedom found in Christ alone. Together, we’ll examine Paul’s message to the early church, addressing legalism, grace, and what it truly means to live by faith rather than by works. As we study, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of the gospel’s power to transform both belief and daily living—moving from obligation to joyful obedience. This class is open to all ages, you may join at any time, and the format is lecture- and discussion-based.
Men
The 4:8 Principle: The Secret to a Joy-Filled Life
Teacher: Michael Magro | Wednesdays, 6-7:30p | Rm 207 |
Join us on Wednesday nights as we dive into The 4:8 Principle by Tommy Newberry, a powerful study that helps men focus their thoughts on what is true, noble, right, and praiseworthy—straight from Philippians 4:8. In a world filled with negativity and stress, this study will equip you to renew your mind, strengthen your relationships, and live with joy that overflows from a Christ-centered mindset. Whether you’re walking through challenges or simply looking to grow, this group is a place for encouragement, accountability, and practical truth for everyday life. This is an open Bible study; feel free to join anytime.
