The Design
Our Bible studies are designed to help you grow in Bible literacy in community, so that you can know and worship God more, and be equipped for the good works God has planned for you.
Our Two Goals For Bible Study
First, we seek to teach you a book of the Bible in a way that will enable you to retain what you learn. Second, we seek to train you to ask better questions of any biblical text on your own. Many of us come to our study of the Bible eager to pull from it wisdom that will help us to live differently. And it should. But before we can move from awareness of what we don't know of the text to awareness of what we should do in response to the text, we must move through the learning process. Our studies are designed to help you with that learning process.
We Study Inductively
This is a study method that begins with asking thought-level questions about a text that follow a specific order. First, we ask what the text actually SAYS (comprehension). Then we ask what the text MEANS (interpretation). And last, we APPLY our findings to our own lives to see how it should change us now (application).
The Three Step Process
All three steps to the learning process matter in our ability to understand scripture. Each week, you will have personal study work to do on your own, which is typically broken up into four or five sections per week. These can be done daily, or as it works in your schedule. But the hope is that you would work toward the goal of spending time studying God's word on a regular basis. When you come to your group, you will discuss what you've learned in your personal study, and hear teaching on the passage you have spent time studying and discussing for the week.

Embrace Grace
Embrace Grace provides emotional, practical, and spiritual support for single, young pregnant women who find themselves in an unexpected pregnancy. The primary goal of Embrace Grace is to empower the church to be a safe and nonjudgmental place for these young women to run to when they find out they are pregnant, instead of the last place they are welcomed because of shame and guilt. It is a 12-week program that teaches them about God's love and grace, and at the end we will give them a baby shower to honor them for choosing life and to help provide for their baby’s needs.
We are currently looking for volunteers to help us babysit on Wednesday nights when our group meets from 6:30-8p. Please sign up for times HERE.
For more information on Embrace Grace ministries, please visit www.embracegrace.com. If you would like to learn more about how you can get involved, please contact Anne Blok, who is heading up this group at our church.
