Fall Discipleship & Bible Studies
The Heart of the Psalms: God's Word to the World by Rev. James Howell
The Psalms have long served as the prayer book of God's people, giving us words for awe, grief, mercy, hope, time, and love. In this six-session Bible study, participants will explore selected psalms that reveal God's heart and speak honestly to the realities of human life. Together, we will discover how these ancient prayers still guide our worship, shape our faith, and help us find language for life with God when words are hard to find.
Your Next Level Life: 7 Rules of Power for Women Only between the ages of 30-45
This women's small group study encourages women to live with confidence, courage, and purpose. Drawing from Karen Arrington’s message, opportunity, and legacy, participants will reflect on what it means to stop playing small, embrace God-given gifts, build meaningful connections, and pursue the next level of life with faith and intention. This class offers an affirming space for conversation, encouragement, and personal growth.
Forgiveness: Finding Peace Through Letting Go by Rev. Adam Hamilton
Forgiveness is one of the most difficult and freeing practices of the Christian life. In this four-session study, Rev. Adam Hamilton helps participants examine the weight of anger, hurt, resentment, and regret—and points toward the peace that becomes possible when we learn to forgive others and ourselves. Through biblical reflection and honest conversation, this class will invite participants to experience grace, release burdens, and move toward healing and wholeness.

The Rooted experience takes you on a 9-week journey of learning and practice. Groups learn foundational Christian beliefs and practice the 7 rhythms of discipleship from the New Testament. This experience challenges and inspires participants to step beyond their comfort zone as they follow Jesus.
