STEADFAST: Living Out Our Hope in the Coming Christ 

(A Study of 1 Thessalonians)
 

Is your hope in Christ just a feeling, or does it fuel your daily life? Discover how the certainty of Jesus' return transforms your work, your relationships, and your entire walk of faith today. 1 Thessalonians isn't just theory—it's Paul's manual for Christian living! Over seven weeks, we’ll learn to strengthen our faith, grow in love, and live a life of holiness. This is practical discipleship for a changing world. This study, led by Pastor Wagner, is held in the Fellowship Hall (Room 208), and is open to adults and youth in grade 6 & up. Refreshments are served!

Mondays
1:00-2:00 PM

Hebrews

​ The book of Hebrews was written to persecuted Christians who were tempted to leave Christ behind. In this study, we see Christ as the fulfillment of countless prophecies and promises and the the source of hope in the face of trials and temptations today and always. This study is led by Pastor Nottling Mondays at 1:00 pm in the church library.

Designed on Purpose for a Purpose

​ Why are we here? How do we find purpose and meaning in life? How can we joyfully carry out our callings as Christian women? Dr. Rhoda Wolle and Amber Swenson's book, Designed on Purpose for a Purpose, addresses these questions with Scripture at the heart of their answers. Join us in reading and discussing this book in a study facilitated by Barb Meyer, Mondays at 6:30 pm in the church library.

Torn: Living on Earth while Longing for Heaven

​As a Christian, do you feel out of place and wonder how you’re supposed to follow God in a godless culture. Generations of believers have walked your path. Others have lived in the tension of their times. Many, like you, have felt torn. In this study of a book by Dr. Bruce Becker, we discover how we can live with hope and make a difference in a world that’s passing away while keeping our hearts focused on the one that will never end. This men's bible study is facilitated by Pastor Steve Schlicht and lay members of the congregation on the 2nd & 4th Tuesdays of each month at 6:30 pm at various locations. After the study, men are invited to enjoy fellowship at the bible study site or a local establishment.
