    Tuesday Morning Classes

    MOMS — Making Our Mothering Significant
    1 Peter: A Living Hope in Christ

    by Jen Wilkin
    Teacher: Betty Farynyk | Room 240 

    The apostle Peter encouraged the early church — and us today — to find hope in a hostile world. He reminds us of our true identity in Christ, our future inheritance in glory, and how to live victoriously by trusting the Lord. He also addresses practical issues that we can pass on to our children. The MOMS class is open to all mothers, regardless of their children’s age. Each session will include a discussion, a video, prayer, testimonies, fellowship, and the opportunity to connect with a Mentor Mom in the Titus 2 model. Cost: $22


    Hebrews Precept Upon Precept Study
    by Kay Arthur
    Teacher: Jackie Schaffer | Room 226 & Zoom

    In these last days, God has spoken to us through His Son, but what exactly has He said? The first four chapters of Hebrews offer a powerful glimpse into who Jesus truly is. Writing to new Jewish believers, the author compares Jesus to what they held most sacred — angels, Moses, and even the Law — and reveals that Jesus is superior to all. This enlightening study opens our eyes to the magnitude of Christ’s role in God’s redemptive plan, established before the foundation of the world. Join us for the first session of this impactful three-part series as we discover more about our Great High Priest and grow deeper in our relationship with Him. Cost: $25


    The Book of James
    What to Do When You Don’t Know What to Do

    by Dr. David Jeremiah
    Teacher: Rometa Arrington | Room 222 & Zoom

    In this verse-by-verse study, you’ll find practical, life-changing insight into how believers can respond to every kind of circumstance. As you apply these truths, you’ll experience the peace that comes from following Christ and living in obedience to God’s Word. Cost: $5 


    Romans, LifeChange Bible Study
    by Navigators
    Teacher: Jan Adams | Room 234 & Zoom

    In this in-depth, two-semester study of Romans, we’ll focus on Jesus and the life-giving power of the Gospel. Together, we’ll explore what it means to truly live out the blessings of salvation, the vital role of the Holy Spirit, and how God transforms lives in real and practical ways. Throughout history, God has used the book of Romans to renew hearts and minds for eternity. Join us and discover how He can use it to transform yours! Cost: $8


    Women of Purpose
    Man of Valor, Man of Grace – The Life of David

    by Charles Swindoll
    Teachers: Bonnie WIlliams & Angie Hyman | Room 227 

    When God searches for leaders, He isn’t looking for perfection — He’s looking for people with the right heart. Like David, ordinary individuals can be used in extraordinary ways when they possess the qualities God values most. Join us as we journey through 1 & 2 Samuel and Psalms, exploring how David faced life’s challenges and allowed them to draw him closer to God. This class includes discussions, spiritual mentoring, and dedicated time for prayer. Cost: $15


    Ephesians
    by Richard Coekin
    Teacher: Cheri Strahm | Room 242 

    Ephesians invites us to embrace all we have in Christ. It reshapes our view of the Church and challenges us in our daily lives. Written to believers in a diverse, urban setting much like our own, this powerful letter deepens our understanding of God’s sovereignty and celebrates His lavish grace. Through this study, you’ll discover the Church’s vital role in God’s plan and how your time and gifts can help build His kingdom. Ephesians is a guide for growing deeply in Christ. Cost: $5


    The End Times in Chronological Order
    A Complete Overview to Understanding Bible Prophecy

    by Dr. Ron Rhodes
    Teacher: MaryBeth Hohman | Banquet Room & Zoom

    In a world filled with uncertainty, many are asking what the future holds. This study explores the key events of Bible prophecy — from the rapture and tribulation to the return of Christ and beyond — helping believers understand where they fit in God’s timeline. Be encouraged and strengthened as you experience the hope and blessing promised to those who study the book of Revelation. This is a two-semester course. We will be using two books: the textbook and the workbook. Cost: $12

    Lord I Need Grace to Make It Today: A Devotional Study
    by Kay Arthur
    Teacher: Annie Isaac  | Room 241 & Zoom

    At times, life can feel overwhelming — marked by guilt, unworthiness, and spiritual weakness. But God’s grace is abundant, freely offered to all who will receive it. Join us as we explore the truths of God’s word and learn how to rely on His all-sufficient grace in every circumstance. Through this study, you’ll discover how to live with confidence in His unfailing love and experience true freedom in Christ. Cost: $12
