Learning Communities

Want to learn something new or dig deeper into a topic? We are pleased to offer short-term classes and seminars on a variety of subjects throughout the year. Topics may include spiritual formation, Bible study, theology, personal growth, parenting, marriage enrichment, and others as they arise.

These groups, formed by common interest, offer opportunities to meet new people in the church and community and often span generations, thus adding to the richness of the experience. 

Registrations and payments, if any, are online through Fellowship One. Registration is required one week in advance to gauge interest by a minimum number of participants.

    The fall women's bible study on Tuesdays will be studying the book JESUS In Me: Experiencing the Holy Spirit as a Constant Companion by Anne Graham Lotz

    Understanding the Holy Spirit's presence in us is life-changing and world-changing. Discover how you can better love and rely on the Person of the Holy Spirit and embrace how much Jesus loves you. In the JESUS in Me video Bible study, Anne shares her story and rich biblical knowledge, exploring the personal and practical implications of seven aspects of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer, including God's presence, purpose, and power.  The study guide includes daily individual Bible reading, weekly video notes, and weekly group discussion questions.

    Participants will need to purchase the study guide (not the book) as we will work through the video sessions and weekly study questions in the study guide. Buy on Amazon | Buy on Christian book
