Monthly Prayer Breakfast

Each month, on the third Monday, our ladies gather at 9:30 a.m. in the Ministry Building on the 1st floor in room 100 to pray for our church, our local mission efforts, our foreign missions and missionaries, our nation, and each other through personal prayer requests. Please join us as we not only adore and thank our Heavenly Father but also bring our confessions and petitions to the throne of grace. 

Summer Book Cub

Each summer, we gather weekly for Summer Book Club. This is a wonderful opportunity for fellowship and growth.

Study Groups

Get Connected. Go Deeper.

Women’s Study Groups will meet for 10 weeks consecutively beginning September 17 and concluding on November 20.  We will study Saved: Experiencing the Promise of the Book of Acts and the corresponding Personal Bible Study, both by Nancy Guthrie, for our study. This study of Acts will carry us through the entire year. We will complete Parts 1 and 2 of the book during the fall semester and will pick up Part 3 in the spring semester. We will reopen registration mid-year for any ladies who would like to jump in.
There is no charge for the book.

Groups meet at a variety of times and locations. Study Groups are a great way to both grow in your faith and knowledge of the Lord and fellowship with other women of all ages.
