  • THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD - "What is God like?" For A.W. Tozer, there was no question more important. In fact, Tozer's desire to know God and His fullness consumed his entire life and ministry. Originally preached as sermons, The Attributes of God, examines ten attributes of God. Steeped in Scripture and filled with the Spirit, Tozer preached with striking clarity and power. The sense of his sermons comes through on every page, bringing the Word of God to bear upon you. This book also contains a study guide. We will be taking a journey into the Father's heart as we learn who God truly is. . .and how we can embrace all of His attributes every day. 

    Mondays at 7:00pm • The Braughler Home • Starting September 9 • Cost: Price of Book • Leaders: Dale & Teresa Braughler


    THE TRUE NATURE OF GOD - As believers, we recognize that eternal life is all about relationship with the Lord. In John 17:3 Jesus said, "Now this is ETERNAL LIFE: that they know You, the only TRUE GOD, and JESUS CHRIST, whom You have sent." If you are allowing your understanding of the Old Testament or your religious or human perspectives to ECLIPSE the TRUE NATURE OF GOD, this group will help you learn how God wants to share His intimate LOVE for each of us so we can TRUST HIM to act in our BEST interest NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION.

    MEANT FOR GOOD - Meant for Good is a power-packed, video-based Bible study that looks at the truth that you can trust God's plans for your life - no matter what it looks like right now. Dynamic Bible teacher Megan Fate Marshman will help you discover how to step into the hopeful future God has for you. With authenticity and revealing insights into the character of God, we will unpack Jeremiah 29:11-14 and what exactly is meant by "good" from God's perspective.

    OVERCOMERS: A STUDY IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION - This study takes us through each chapter of Revelation and shows us the practical relevance for our lives right now. Encouraging us that in spite of what we are experiencing in the world, Jesus is on his throne! We can live confidently, knowing that God has set us in a divinely appointed time and place. Along with the book of Revelation, we will use Matt Chandler's study, Overcomers, to guide our discussions. 

    Wednesdays at 7:00pm • Location: FLC Rm 2/4 • Cost: $18 • Leaders: Andrew & Debbie Neff


    IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THIS WAY - Life often looks so very different than we hoped or expected. Some events may simply catch us off guard for a moment, but others shatter us completely. We feel disappointed and disillusioned, and we quietly start to wonder about the reality of God’s goodness. In It's Not Supposed to Be This Way, Lysa Terkeurst helps us to: stop being pulled into the anxiety of disappointment, train ourselves to recognize the three strategies of the enemy so we can stand strong and persevere through unsettling relationships and uncertain outcomes, discover the secret of being steadfast and not panicking when God actually does give us more than we can handle, and so much more. You will be encouraged and in turn be able to encourage others during difficult times.

    Wednesdays at 7:00pm • Location: FLC Rm 6 • Cost: $28 (book/workbook set) • Leaders: David & Niki Crouse

  • JOY BIBLE FELLOWSHIP - On Wednesday mornings  we will study the Book of Genesis with a special emphasis on

    the creation account and the spiritual and practical teachings it has for us as New Testament believers. Genesis is one of the most interesting and controversial books in the Bible and must be studied carefully and prayerfully. You are invited to come and search the scriptures together with us. We will be discussing the scientific and historical aspects as well as the archeological data that has been recently uncovered that verifies and confirms the Biblical account of creation. Hope to see you there.

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


    LEVKULICH BIBLE STUDY - The old testament tabernacle and temple are meant to be types of the spiritual reality in Christ Jesus who is the real temple of God. Every dimension, piece of material, article of furniture, sacrifice offered and feast day celebrated points to Him. The Lord Jesus is our all in all. He is our Great High Priest. This study is for the purpose of understanding the old testament types as they find their fulfillment in Him.

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


    REMEMBER - Throughout the Bible we are told to remember. To remember our first love, His commands and ways, what the Lord has done, His compassion and unfailing love and so much more, but often the struggles of life cause us to forget. Starting in Genesis and moving through the Bible, we will begin a journey of remembrance so we live our lives firmly planted in the goodness of God. 

    Wednesdays at 7:00pm • Location: CCA Teacher's Lounge • Leader: Carl Sprowls


    FINDING YOUR PLACE IN THE BODY OF CHRIST - Ladies, we were all created for a purpose. As believers we are made alive in Christ to do the good works He created in advance for us to do. These principles are clearly laid out for us by the Apostle Paul in the book of Ephesians. Join us this Fall as we jump into this powerful book to learn who we are in Christ and where we fit in the Body of Christ. For Women 18+

    BIBLICAL CITIZENSHIP - Throughout our history, American pastors and churches have played a vital role in the establishment and

    preservation of religious and civil liberty. We will be going through the Bible and American history to rediscover the secret sauce that produces a prosperous society when Biblical principles are applied. Being salt and light requires knowledge of the culture we are attempting to preserve and influence as we fulfill the Great Commission and make disciples of all nations.
