Women's Bible Studies – Winter 2025

Winter Bible Study

Abide by Jen Wilkin

January 6 – March 13 | 10 weeks

How can we hold onto assurance of our faith? How can we discern the truth from a lie? How can we know God loves us?

In three short letters, the apostle John reminds an early church facing division, deception, and doubt to hold fast to what they know and to live like they believe it. And he reminds us, as well. In this 10-session Bible study on the letters of 1, 2, and 3, John, Jen Wilkin helps you see how two thousand years later, his words call to Christians in similar challenges to recall a great salvation and to abide in the truth.

Romans Part 2 – Freed from Sin's Penalty

All have sinned. There is none righteous. We are declared righteous by God only by faith in the blood of His Son. Free from the guilt and power of sin, but what about the flesh? Discover how justification by faith relates to day by day living through the Holy Spirit’s power—the amazing process of sanctification (Romans 6–8)

Session includes: Homework, Reading, Discussion and Prayer. Participants do not need to have done Part 1 with us in order to join us for Part 2.

“

MOPS has given me a great opportunity to build relationships with other moms in the same season of life. Together we’re able to navigate young motherhood, marriage, and following Jesus in a fun setting.

Valley Women’s Ministry has provided me great opportunities to connect, grow and lead. My second week at Valley, I was invited to a Bible Study and out of that study came many of my best friends!

When we do Bible study together, the layering of shared life experiences and practical application that my sisters in Christ bring to the table enriches my perspective and understanding. It strengthens and encourages my faith.

The MOMCo (previously known as MOPS)

9:30–11:30 am · Two Fridays per month

September 2024–May 2025

We believe that it’s just as important for moms to grow as it is to take care of our little ones. Therefore, MOMCo exists to serve you and your kids. While your children play and learn in the care and safety of our on-site MOMCo KIDS program, MOMCo moms meet to socialize, hear from speakers, engage in creative activities and small group discussion, and share in a kid-uninterrupted breakfast and coffee break. Our hope is that you walk away refreshed, inspired, connected, and ready to brave the day.
You can expect a fun variety of snacks, curriculum, fellowship, prayer and devotions, crafts, playdates, and outside events.

Yearly dues are $60 for Valley MOMCo, $30 for childcare, and $37 The MOMCo International membership. For your convenience, you may pay for the entire year or one semester at a time.

Valley MOMCo and MOMCo International dues with no childcare – 1 semester $67
Valley MOMCo and MOMCo International dues with no childcare – 2 semesters $97
Valley MOMCo and MOMCo International dues with childcare – 1 semester $82
Valley MOMCo and MOMCo International dues with childcare – 2 semesters $127

We are excited to welcome new moms into our group for next year. Please contact The MOMCo leaders with any questions.
