Podcast Bible Study

If you would like to dive in deeper during our 2025 series but may not have the time to commit to an in-person Bible study, our Thursday morning podcasts will be structured as a mini Bible study. They will focus on segments of the non-preached passages of scripture from the pastor who didn't preach on the chapter. You can find our podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Audible, Podbean, or on the Podcast and Sermon Archive Page of our website!

Jo Ellen Lenten Bible Study

Join us in the Heritage Room on Mondays from 7:00-8:00pm, beginning March 3rd and running through April 21st, as we walk together through Lent, preparing to become truly Easter people. Pastor Jo Ellen will lead a study on how Christ’s journey through suffering and death helps us face our own pain with hope. This study invites us to reflect on the hardest part of being human, acknowledging our mortality and embracing the suffering of Good Friday, as we await the joy of Easter. Contact the church office to be included, so we have a book and chair ready for you. We look forward to exploring this season together!
