Women's Bible Studies

Morning Classes | Wednesdays 9:00-11:00am

Join us Wednesday mornings from 9:00-11:00 for Bible study. It is a great way to dive into Scripture, become part of an engaged Christian community of women, and to make new friends. We hope to see you there!

In Life Center classrooms 210 and 212, Kathie Stocker is using LifeLight's Creation, New Creation. This amazing study begins in with Creation in the Book of Genesis, takes us through the Old and New Testaments, and ends with the wonder of a New Creation in the Book of Revelation. The study materials for this class are available for $10.00.

In Life Center classroom 216, Debbie Baacke is diving into Kelly Minter's Ruth: Loss, Love, and Legacy (reprinted in 2024). As Kelly points out, many of us struggle through seasons of bitterness, tears, and loss, wondering if there could ever be a happy ending to our stories. The story of Ruth affirms, "Yes! There is hope!" It is a hope provided by a sovereign God who never takes His eyes off of us for even a moment. The book for this class is available for $22.00.

We will have copies of both books available at the Women's Brunch on September 3rd from 9:00-11:00 and during the first few weeks of Bible study. 

If you have any questions, please contact Lori Knutson.


Evening Classes | Wednesdays 6:30-8:00pm

The Wednesday evening Women's Bible Study will be kicking off their new study soon. Keep watching for updates.  When the group reconvenes, they will meet via Zoom on Wednesdays from 6:30-8:00pm. Please contact Dixie Russo or Lori Knutson for more information.   


Women's Discipleship Adventures (WDA)

Saturday Walk and Talks | Next Walk: August 9th

Ladies, you are invited to join us for a Saturday morning of walking and spending time in fellowship and good conversation.

In August we are going to walk the Seabrook Walking Trail from Baybrook Park down to Pine Gully Park and back. It is a lovely walk but there is not always a lot of tree cover, so bring your sunglasses and bug spray! 

Please make sure to bring water with you and wear comfortable walking shoes!

We will meet at Baybrook Park, located at 4221 Todville Road, at 7:00 a.m. After a short prayer, we will head out for our walk and enjoy good conversation and fellowship with Christian sisters from all over the area.  

We look forward to seeing you on August 9th. Contact Lori Knutson with any questions. 

As always, keep walking with the Lord and allow His Word to be a lamp for your feet and a light for your path (Psalm 119:105). See you out on the trails!


Day & Weekend Adventures | See you this fall!

The Women's Discipleship Adventure group plans day trips and weekend adventures throughout the year. We gather and go kayaking, bird watching, camping, hiking, and more. Our focus is coming together as daughters of the King and spending time outdoors in God's creation! Every trip is partnered with prayer and time in fellowship, and weekend trips have a Bible-focused devotional we use throughout our three and four-day adventures. 

All women are invited. Physical exertion levels for day trips vary based on the event but are typically moderate. Weekend activities are usually moderate to difficult, unless otherwise stated in the registration. 

Contact Lori Knutson for more information and to be added to the WDA email distribution list.
