Monday Evening Women’s Walking Group
If you’re looking for a simple way to connect with other women and spend time in God’s Word, come join us on Monday nights 6:30pm to 8:00pm at Lincoln Drive Park.
It’s a casual walking group for women of all ages. We meet near the main picnic shelter to walk, talk, and reflect on Scripture together. Nothing fancy—just a great way to connect, move, and grow.

Wednesday Morning women’s Bible Study
This group of women meet Wednesday mornings from 9am - 11am in Great Hall Classroom 2 to study, grow and pray together. Their studies are often book studies, with optional follow-up devotionals and workbooks to enhance your spiritual growth at home during the week if you’d like. (Childcare is sometimes available, but check ahead of time because it’s based on need. Most attendees currently in their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s.)

Wednesday Evening women’s Bible Study
Begins Oct. 1, 2025
Come connect with women of all ages as we gather for fellowship and to grow in God's Word together on Wednesday nights from 6:30pm - 8pm in Great Hall Classroom 3. We'll be using “The God Who Sees Me,” an interactive study that explores the powerful encounters women in the Bible had with God. This is a beautiful opportunity to deepen your faith, build meaningful relationships, and discover how God sees and meets each of us right where we are.
