Women's Discipleship Summer 2026

Letting Go for Growth - Seeking Growth and Renewal in Our Faith

Ladies, we hope to see you on June 10th from 9:00am to 12:00pm in the Chat Room for a special women's gathering that will help us look at growing past our doubts, fears, past experiences, and the limits we set for ourselves. It will be a time of renewal as we move around, talk, engage with table activities, and create a visual that reminds us we have a God who made us to bloom and grow in His care.

This is a great event for a group of friends, neighbors, or your small group, so please make sure to share the link with the ladies you know.

The event is on June 10th, and we ask you and your friends register by June 8th to help with our planning. The $7 fee covers the cost of all supplies and a light snack. You can register here


Summer Bible Study: Created to Commune - A Study on Spiritual Discipline

Ladies, grab your favorite sparkly water cup, comfy clothes, and sunglasses, and join us for a summer of studying the Bible and God’s truths alongside good friends as we navigate the heat of another Houston summer. We will meet on Wednesday mornings from 9:30-11:00 in the Chat Room on June 17 and 24; July 1, 8, 15, and 29; and August 5 and 12 for our Created to Commune Bible study. This exciting eight-session study will remind us of who we are and whose we are. Rachel Joy created this study to help remind us that we are not alone and we were created for communion with our loving and living God.

This study is designed to remind us of practical living through the spiritual disciplines so that we might help multiply and cultivate the Kingdom of God in the world around us. There is no cost for the Created to Commune study, but please register here so we can make sure to prepare enough materials.


Women's Book Study: 40 Verses to Ignite Your Faith

Ladies, you are invited to join us for a summer of diving into some unexpected passages of Scripture. We are going to use Laurie Short's book 40 Verses to Ignite Your Faith to look at "in between" verses that provide wisdom, guidance, and encouragement. During our eight weeks together, we will read a wide variety of passages and discuss God's timing, not worrying about the future, and holding onto faith when things look dark. As we spend time in Word, prayer, and discussion, we'll learn to navigate the challenges that cross our paths, breathing new life and fresh air into our spirits and igniting our faith.

Grab a girlfriend and register here by June 17th. The cost for the materials is $10.00. We will see you on Wednesdays in the Chat Room from 11:30 to 12:30 beginning June 17th.
