FALL 2024 EQUIPPING GROUP DESCRIPTIONS...
Called to Cultivate: A Gospel Vision for Women & Work (Women Only)
Led by Emily Baum
Your work matters whether you are the CEO of a company, a cashier at a grocery store, or a stay-at-home mom. Though our assignments are different, as Christians, our highest calling remains the same: to glorify God and to advance His Kingdom. During this study we will explore the biblical call to work and discover how we can steward our vocation to make a kingdom impact.
Untangle Your Emotions: Discover How God Made You Feel (Women Only)
Led by Lindsey Bullard
Your emotions are a gift from God. Most of us have been taught some damaging lessons about our emotions. Does the Bible really tell us that our emotions are untrustworthy? Were we meant to control and suppress our deepest feelings? Learn what it means to live an emotionally healthy life with Jennie Allen as she guides you through your own tangled up emotions and helps you discover how they actually help you notice what's wrong and connect with God and others more deeply. This six-session video Bible study will equip you to: Identify the unhealthy ways you might be coping with emotions. Learn a biblical step-by-step method to help you process, notice, and name what you're feeling. Talk about what you feel so that you can have meaningful connection with God, with yourself, and with those God puts in your life.
Staying Sexually Pure in an Impure World (Men Only)
Led by Dennis Nunn

If you would like more information, please contact Pastor Eric through the church office.
Survey of the Bible: Understanding the Books, Places, Story, People & Periods (Co-Ed)
Led by Jay & Amy Allen
The Bible is the most revered, respected and celebrated books of all time. Since the first published book (a Bible, of course!) rolled off the Gutenberg press over five hundred years ago, it has been a perpetual bestseller, far surpassing sales of any other volume in human history. For Christians, however, the Bible is not just a bestseller; it is “God’s Word” – a divine message to us in human language. Some parts of the Bible are easy to understand yet many are not. With its lengthy genealogies, Levitical laws, and apocalyptic visions, even for sincere readers reading with understanding can be a monumental task. Obviously, to navigate these challenging and potentially treacherous waters, you need a trustworthy and experienced guide -- someone who knows both the world of the text and the ways of God in human history. That is why Bruce Wilkinson’s newest course "Survey of the Bible" was created – to help people understand the big picture of God’s Word.
Asking the Right Questions: A Guide to Critical Thinking (Co-Ed)
Led by Pastor Eric Simmons
In a world of constant information, do you ever find it difficult to help yourself or someone else come to a better understanding of a political topic, theological doctrine, or moral principle? Do you find it difficult in conversation to persuade others to see your point of view or understand why you believe what you believe and convince them to do the same? If so, join Pastor Eric as he leads a study from the book, Asking the Right Questions: A Guide to Critical Thinking. This will be a 14 week study (August 21 - December 4).
The Secret of Serving: Finding My Place in Ministry (Co-Ed)
Led by Pastor Kelly Bullard
As our church continues to grow, we need more people stepping into strategic roles of ministry and service. The key word here is "strategic." We are not interested in just "filling spots" but in helping you strategically and intentionally connect to where God is calling you to serve. In this equipping group, Pastor Kelly will guide participants in discovering their unique gifts, abilities, and talents for the purpose of serving Christ and the church. We will use unique tools (not your typical spiritual gifts assessment) to determine how God has made you for a particular ministry in the church. Join us as we discover the secret of serving!!!
