Can We Talk?
led by Fran Martin


In this multimedia Bible study, women are invited to throw open the doors of communication with God. Author Priscilla Shirer says, "I refer to this as the un-Bible study because the purpose isn't study. The purpose is to accept God's Word as an invitation to conversation." Relevant topics such as the power of words, hidden idols, complacency, and living a God-fashioned life will engage the hearts and minds of media-savvy, on-the-go women, as contemporary stories encourage you to "have a conversation with God."

Stepping Up
led by Karin Essen


A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent explores Psalms 120-134. Through the study of these Psalms, we will gain a new appreciation for the life of faith as a journey to greater fellowship with and worship of God. You do not need any religious training or previous Bible study to participate in this journey. At the same time, the Psalms will challenge the serious student of God's Word to take the next step with God.

I Promise 
led by Jerry & Kathy Page


Not only is a happy and harmonious relationship within every couple's grasp, but emotional security is the cornerstone for the relationship you've always wanted. That means you do not have to be a relationship guru to connect deeply to your spouse after all! The best relationships possible happen naturally when you feel secure in your marriage. Dr. Gary Smalley authors our study into creating security and harmony in our marriages through 5 basic promises we make to each other as husband and wife. It's easier than we thought to build (or even rebuild) a foundation of trust which will be the basis of the relationships we've always wanted.

Parenting the Early Years 
led by Rocky & Stacy Williams


Ever wonder, "Do I have what it takes to be a good parent?" Believe it or not, you're not alone! This fall we are offering a new video-driven study by Dr. Les and Leslie Parrott. Because children don't come with instructions, this series takes a Biblical approach into the traits parents want their children to have. This study looks at what life is like for married, single, and blended families in real-life situations. Plan to join us for a fresh approach to "real" parenting.

Una Vida Con Proposito (Purpose Driven Life)
led by Ariel Irizarry


The most basic question everyone faces in life is, "Why am I here?  What is my purpose?" Self-help books suggest that people should look within, at their own desires and dreams, but Rick Warren says the starting place must be with God and His eternal purposes for each life. Real meaning and significance come from understanding and fulfilling God's purposes for putting us on earth.

This study helps learners understand God's incredible plan for their lives. Warren enables them to see the big picture of what life is all about and begin to live the life God created them to live.

The Truth Project
led by Bob Martin


In a recent study, the Barna Research Group revealed a stunning statistic that continues to reverberate throughout the evangelical world: only 9 percent of professing Christians have a biblical worldview. Because of this, today's believers live very similarly to nonbelievers. A personal sense of significance is rarely experienced, we spend our money and time on things that fail to satisfy, and we begin to wonder what life's ultimate purpose really is. It's time for a return to truth.
