Find out more »God created every woman with a specific purpose—to be an ezer kenegdo, an essential counterpart. An ezer is one who comes alongside another and brings strength in the context of relationship. All women share this core calling, but how we live out our calling looks different for each woman based on her personality, gifts, strengths, perspectives, and season of life. We hope you will join us for Biblical Femininity, a six-week study where we will learn to embrace our uniqueness and live out our calling right where God has us today.
Find out more »Words are tools. We use them to express ourselves, to communicate, and to connect with others. We use them to vent frustrations and to express joy. We use them to bless and to curse. We use words to manipulate and control and to help and encourage. We use words in ways that tear others down, and we use them in ways that build others up. Proverbs 18:21 says, “Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit—you choose” (MSG). We all know the power of our words, so why do we still struggle to use them in ways that bring life rather than death? We hope you will join us for this nine-week study, A Woman's Words: Getting to the Heart of Our Speech. We will explore what the Scripture has to say about our words and how the gospel has the power and hope we need to transform them.

Our new, eight-week version of Authentic Manhood, which includes an introductory week and seven teaching sessions, will lay a biblical groundwork for men of faith to take responsibility for and move towards those around them, all while depending on God.

Find out more »Sex and sexuality can be a confusing and divisive topic, both in our culture and in the church. And because we live in a fallen world, all of us struggle with some aspect of sexual brokenness. Many of us have carried wounds of sexual sin for years—shame over sins done to us, sins we've committed, and wounds that are simply the result of the fallen nature of our world. Redeeming Sexuality takes a deep, biblical look at the roots of sexual brokenness, how it is manifested in our lives, and how we can find freedom and hope in the gospel. In this newly revised, nine-week study, we will examine sex and sexuality from a biblical perspective and take our fractured hearts to a loving Father who is skilled in mending us with love, forgiveness, and acceptance.
