At Calvary, women are serious about their faith and growing as an active and inclusive community. Our desire is to provide opportunities where you can grow closer to the Lord and connect on a regular basis.

Women of all ages come together through weekly Adult Life Groups, Women’s Bible Studies, events, prayer ministry, and serving opportunities. Please see below for details. We’d love to have you join us!

    Shepherding a Child’s Heart
    by Tedd Tripp
    Teacher: Betty Farynyk | Room 242 & Zoom

    The things your child does and says flow from the heart. Luke 6:45 puts it this way, “out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” Written for parents of children from infancy through the teen years, this insightful book provides perspective and practical applications for shepherding your child’s heart biblically into the paths of life. This class will include discussion, videos, fellowship, and prayer. Cost: $10


    Living in the Light — Studies in 1 John
    by Dr. David Jeremiah
    Teacher: Rometa Arrington | Room 222 & Zoom

    The book of 1 John is one of the simplest yet most profound letters in the Bible about what it means to walk in the light. In this study, we will learn that salvation is not found in hidden, secret knowledge but in the light of Christ, revealed and manifested by loving God and loving each other. Cost: $10


    Marriage — Women of Purpose
    by Paul Tripp
    Teacher: Angie Hyman | Room 227 (in person only)

    Quickly in marriage, wives often realize that their spouses don’t always share the same instincts. Do you celebrate the differences between you and your spouse? Or are you tempted to dishonor God by trying to rewrite His story? The Lord has brought you and your spouse together for His glory and your good. In this study, we will examine six marriage commitments through the lens of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our time together will consist of biblical teaching and testimonies from those who have lived out the goodness of God in their marriages. Cost: $16


    Isaiah, Part 1 — Continued
    A Precept Upon Precept Study
    by Kay Arthur

    Teacher: Jackie Schaffer | Room 226 & Zoom

    The book of Isaiah provides a prophetic picture of the Lord Jesus Christ that strikes awe in readers’ hearts. Join us as we continue our study of the crown jewel of the Old Testament prophets and gain firsthand knowledge of God’s beauty and majesty. We will finish the rest of our Part I workbook this spring and begin Part 2 in the fall. (If you do not have the Isaiah Part 1 study guide from last semester, the cost is $32.)
