PRAISE, PRAYERS AND HEBREWS - We will spend time with the Lord following His leading as we praise, pray and search the scriptures through the wonderful book of Hebrews. Hebrews is a great book for the new and seasoned individual and is a masterful document written to Jews who were evaluating Jesus or struggling with this new faith. The message of Hebrews is that Jesus is better, Christianity is superior, Christ is supreme and completely sufficient for salvation. Come join us as we dig deeper into the power that is written in this book. Starts September 11

Mondays at 7:00pm I Braughler Home I Leaders: Dale and Teresa Braughler

LADIES BIBLE STUDY - Ladies (18+) are invited to come and build relationships with other women as we grow in our walk with the Lord. We have a time of sharing, prayer and study of the word.

JOY BIBLE FELLOWSHIP - As we complete our study of the book of Revelation, we will move into an in depth look at the book of Romans.

We invite all who would like to attend to meet with us every Wednesday as we study together this grace filled letter.

Wednesdays at 10:00am I Rock Student Center I Leader: Rev. Jim Levkulich

WINGS (WOMEN IN GOD'S SERVICE) - Women of all ages are invited to a unique gathering, where relationships with each other are intentionally promoted. As we study scripture, and build our relationship with our Heavenly Father, we find ways to connect to each other. WINGS is a safe place to share, an acceptable place to cry, a warm place to pray and ask for help, and a hopeful place to find encouragement. And we have fun too! Note: each meeting includes a potluck luncheon.

LETTING THE HEALER HEAL - "Hurt people, hurt people. Each of us carries wounds, whether caused by choices we’ve made or by no fault of our own."  —Jessie North, "Letting the Healer Heal"   Cultivating Holy Beauty, Book 2: Letting the Healer Heal dispels the myth that we have to live with this pain. You will begin the healing process by learning how wounds can be turned into lies, leading you away from God, resulting in bitterness and sin. In the process of encountering Jesus in your hurt places, you will finally walk in forgiveness and freedom by allowing Jesus to heal you.

Wednesdays at 7:00pm I Family Life Center Room 5 I Leader: Erica Fisher

THE SPIRIT WORLD & HOW TO PRAY EFFECTIVELY - This Fall we will finish our study of the Spirit World before heading into our study of effective prayer. These two topics go hand-in-hand because prayer is one of the ways we stayed filled with the Holy Spirit. The bible says that, "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." So how can we be effective in our prayers? We will look at instances of prayer in the bible and talk about the guiding principles of effective prayer. This will be a challenging and rewarding study for all who answer the call to increase their prayer life. All are welcome to study with us.

Wednesdays at 7:00pm I Sanctuary I Leader: Rev. Jim Levkulich

SIGN OF THE TIMES -  In this study we will look at the revelation given to John and shared with us in the book of Revelation. The book of Revelation can be challenging to understand for even the most seasoned of Christians. Together we will explore this book of bible prophecy so we can gain insight into what is happening in the world today.

Wednesdays at 7:00pm I Family Life Center Room 2/4 I Leader: Carl Sprowls

DESIGNED FOR IMPACT - "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Ephesians 2:10) This class will be a journey of understanding your true identity in Christ, recognizing and developing your spiritual gifts, and identifying your passions to uncover your purpose. We will also allow for activation of what we have learned both on and off campus. This class will include 2 assessments: assessme.org and 5Q tests  (Cost: $10)

Wednesdays at 7:00pm I Prayer Room I Leader: Pastor Vicki Barton

WHO AM I? UNDERSTANDING YOUR REDEMPTIVE GIFT - It is clear that we are not all alike. The Creator made us different from one another and we were all created for a specific and unique purpose. When we really know who we are, and how God has created us, we will not be threatened by those who are different from us. The Bible indicates a variety of gifts and functions in which people can operate. Every gift will result in a person functioning differently (1 Corth. 12 vs 4-6). We will be using a video series provided by teacher, Mary Harasyn to give insight into each of the seven redemptive (motivational) gifts. 

Wednesdays at 7:00pm I Family Life Center Room 3 I Leader: Bill Speer

FORGIVING WHAT YOU CAN'T FORGET - Have you ever struggled with forgiveness? Ephesians 4:32 tells us to be kind to one another, tenderhearted, as God, in Christ, forgave you.  But sometimes this task is hard, especially when we have been hurt or wounded by others. In her book, Forgiving What You Can't Forget, Lysa Terkeurst will help show you how to let go of bound-up resentment and overcome the resistance to forgiving people who aren’t willing to make things right. This study will help you discover how to move on, make peace with painful memories, and create a life that is beautiful again through the power of forgiveness. (Cost: TBD)

Wednesdays at 7:00pm I Family Life Center Room 1 I Leader: J.R. Hancher

SHARE JESUS WITHOUT FEAR - Would you like to share Jesus without fear? I believe that most Christians would just love to share their faith in Jesus, but the fact is they just don’t! Why? They are just darn scared! In most cases they have never been taught how to share their faith in a one-on-one encounter. They are afraid of what to say. They are afraid of rejection. They are nervous. They may have tried but

had a bad experience scaring them away from sharing. In this class we will go over how to share Jesus with others and tools you can use to help you go!  Come and learn to be a Christian following God’s command to go.

Wednesdays at 7:00pm I Family Life Center Room 6 I Leader: Tom Kwiatkowski

Come to be encouraged and challenged to fight the enemy in the right way and secure the victory. Cost: TBD
