Women’s Bible Studies
Spring Study
Galatians: The True Gospel – No More, No Less
March 31–May 15
Paul preached that salvation comes only through faith in Christ, not through our own efforts or good works. This is the true gospel. Nothing to add. Nothing to take away.
Let’s dig into the book of Galatians to learn, just like the Galatians 2,000 years ago, how to face subtle temptations to place our faith or find our identity in something more or less than this gospel message. The true gospel offers us so much more than anything else we can construct. Let’s not settle for less!
Registration fee: $5 for study booklet

Women in Work
Being a Christian in the workplace can be challenging. How can you integrate your faith and your work? Should they stay separate? Can they stay separate? How can you glorify God in your work? This is a space where believers and seekers learn from each other with practical application to the workplace, and encourage one another in our mutual pursuit of true success in both this life and the next.
