Womens' Events
Bible Studies
Small Group Bible Studies are held Tuesday Mornings 9:15-11:00am and Tuesday Evenings 6:45-8:30pm at the church. Tuesday Bible Studies are a great way to connect with other women as we study God's word. See more information below.
Conversations: A Safe Place to Talk About Difficult Realities
Several times each year, women come to a safe place and join with other women to talk about real struggles in their lives and our culture. Past topics have included:Sexual Addiction/Pornography; Loss and Longing through Miscarriage/Infertility; Intimacy in Marriage; Launching Children.
NEXT Conversations night -"Special Kids, Special Challenges" Wednesday, Jan 18, 7:00pm in the Fireside Cafe. Parenting is challenging enough with typical kids, but when you throw a diagnosis into the mix, it’s especially challenging. Whether your child has an educational, developmental, or medical diagnosis, you are welcome to join us for this night of sharing. You are not alone! Wed. Jan 18, 7:00pm in the Fireside Café.
Gatherings
Large Group Gatherings provide opportunities to meet new people and also see old friends. Larger groups may enjoy a movie night or an outing to see a Broadway play. Seasonal gatherings offer opportunities to celebrate and to enjoy connecting with other women.

Mother Styles - Part Two
Save the date - Saturday, March 10 for a follow up on Mother Styles. If you were with us for part 1, you'll agree there was a lot of information to digest! We would love to invite you back to dig a little deeper and share insights and thoughts on all we learned. If you weren't able to join us for the first session and would like to join us for this one - please do! We'd love for you to join us as we discover how God formed our personality and how it directly affects our mothering relationships.
Retreats
Retreats provide a wonderful setting for growth, reflection, and fellowship. Weekend Retreats are offered yearly. Several one-day Mini Retreats are also planned each year.
"Through Bible study, retreats and other special events, we not only learn from God's Word, but we can encourage and help one another in faith and equip ourselves to "fight the good fight" together. There is something about that shared bond of faith that draws even introverted women (like me!) to open up and want to be a part of this special community."
