Women's Bible Studies

Morning Classes | Wednesdays 9:00-11:00am

Join us on Wednesday mornings from 9:00-11:00 to dive into Scripture, become part of an engaged Christian community of women, and make new friends. We gather in 210/212 from 9:00-9:30 to connect, sing, and pray. At 9:30, we move to our individual classrooms. We hope to see you there!

Kathie Stocker has been teaching in Life Center classrooms 210 and 212 using LifeLight's Creation, New Creation.  The study will take a break from November 5th through December 17th to allow Kathie and the Creation, New Creation ladies to register for and attend Christina Hergenrader's Everlasting Bible study.

If you are interested in joining the Creation, New Creation study, the group will resume meeting on January 7th. This amazing study begins with Creation in the Book of Genesis, takes us through the Old and New Testaments, and ends with the wonder of a New Creation in the Book of Revelation. The study materials for this class are available for $10.00. Please contact Lori Knutson if you wish to get registered! 

Debbie Baacke's group in Life Center classroom 216 spent this fall diving into Kelly Minter's Ruth: Loss, Love, and Legacy (reprinted in 2024). This was a powerful study that gave each member of the group new insight into Naomi, Ruth, Boaz, Obed, and the one whom this story points us to - Jesus. The group has (sadly) finished and will be participating in Christina Hergenrader's Everlasting Bible study beginning November 5th. Stay tuned for more information on our first study for 2026!

Regular Women's Bible Study classes will resume on January 7th. If you have any questions, please contact Lori Knutson.

Women's Events Highlight

Peace, Love, & Sisterhood| Christina Hergenrader

Ladies, join author and speaker Christina Hergenrader on November 6th for ‘Peace, Love, Sisterhood’—a hope-filled night of stories, Scripture, and real talk about showing up for one another. Come be encouraged, bring a friend, and leave with practical ways to cultivate peace and grace.

We are excited to invite our high school ladies to join us this year, so please encourage those amazing young ladies you know to join us. Christina's message will speak to all ladies from 16 to 96!

Invite a girlfriend, sister, or neighbor for an evening filled with great food, worship, and precious conversations with women of faith. When the Life Center doors open at 6:00 pm you will be able to catch up with friends--both old and new--as you walk around to see the beautiful decorations created by our table hostesses and feast on heavy hors d'oeuvres from Robinette. This year, we will have delicious food to nibble at four themed food stations: Memories of Hawaii, A Bowl of Comfort, Southern Elegance, and Fresh and Spicy.

We will begin in prayer and worship at 6:45 and then spend an amazing evening with Christina as she shares encouragement and helps us step into the Advent season and Luke 1:45 where we hear, "Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”

Christina's books will be for sale during the evening.

Standard tickets are $30. Table hostesses may reserve a table for them and their guests for the hostess price of $26. Tickets are non-refundable, but fully transferable.

If you have been a table hostess in the past--or are interested in being a table hostess this year--please reach out to Lori Knutson before registering. If you have been invited by a table hostess, please speak with her to get the hostess code before registering. 

Register using this link. All registrations must be complete by October 27th.

Contact Lori Knutson with any questions.

Be Encouraged!

Text Message of Encouragement

Jesus, as you know, my heart sometimes resists change. Soften my heart; help me to hear what you want me to hear. Help me to see what you want me to see. Jesus, help me to shout "YES" when you call me and to lovingly say "NO" when it is not your will for me.  Amen. 

Want to discover more? Open up Scripture and see what it tells us about hearing and obeying. Look at Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Luke 11:28, Romans 10:17, James 1:22, Genesis 12:1-4, Matthew 13:3-23, and John 14:26.
