Faith growth in community allows you to learn from others and feel supported as you build relationships. Whether it's a Sunday morning pastor-led class in the Fellowship Hall, a Men's or Women's study or a Small Group that meets in a home, there's always someone waiting to journey with you.


What if the Bible is more than a collection of stories or rules? What if it's an invitation into God's ongoing story?
Join us this fall for a welcoming women's book study as we journey through Inspired by Rachel Held Evans, reading one chapter each week. Together, we'll explore the themes, questions, and literary beauty of Scripture while engaging in thoughtful, honest, and encouraging conversation.
Whether you've read the Bible for years or are just beginning to explore it, this group offers a relaxed space to ask questions, share perspectives, and grow in faith alongside other women. All are welcome!
Purchase Inspired in print or audiobook before the first session and come ready for meaningful conversation. Purchase the book here: https://rachelheldevans.com/inspired
