Tuesday Morning Classes
REGISTER — AM ClassesJob: LifeChange Bible Study (continuation from last semester)
by The Navigators
Teacher: Alison Eddings | Room 241 & Zoom
Suffering is not a foreign concept to the woman of God! Whether we have endured suffering, will endure suffering, or walk alongside someone who is suffering, our lives are not shielded from heartache because we are Christ-followers. Join us as we study and apply God’s truth from the book of Job — his grief, hope, and ultimately his humble deference to the will of God. We’ll come to trust and love God more deeply and learn to comfort others in their time of need as we’ve been comforted through our sufferings. Cost: $8
Growing Together — Women of Purpose
by Melissa B. Kruger
Teacher: Angie Hyman & Bonnie Williams | Room 227
We, as Christian women, need one another. This study on spiritual mentoring explores ten specific ways for younger believers and more mature Christians to grow together through intentional discipleship and accountability. Complementing this book study, we will also study truths the Apostle Paul passes along to his “son in the faith” in I and II Timothy. The Women of Purpose class comprises group discussion, teaching, and discipleship. All ages are welcome! Cost: $13
Haggai, Malachi, & Zechariah
by Kathleen Nielson
Teacher: Jan Adams | Room 234 & Zoom
Through the messages of God's prophets to the Jews, we'll gain insights into God’s nature and expectations for His people, both then and now. However, this study is not just for gaining information but also for growing spiritually. These ancient words mirror our struggles, revealing how believers today can fall into the same sins that ensnared ancient Israel. Join us for an in-depth discussion of these timeless messages that will challenge us to examine our lives, apply God’s truth personally, and be ready for the return of the Messiah. Cost: $12
1 Samuel — Precept Upon Precept
by Kay Arthur
Teacher: Jackie Schaffer | Room 226 & ZoomJoin us as we marvel at the miracle of the prophet Samuel’s birth, and listen as he hears the still, small voice of God, calling him into a profound ministry. We'll continue to be amazed as Samuel serves the Lord in His search for “a man after His own heart! Cost: $22
The I AM Statements of Jesus

We will learn and understand who Jesus is and why it matters that He is who He says He is. As we journey through the Gospel of John, we will grow in our knowledge and understanding of our Lord and His mission. Be encouraged and blessed by God’s enduring love and ongoing provision for His children. He is the Great I AM! Cost: $10
The Coming Golden Age
by Dr. David Jeremiah
Teacher: Mary Beth Hohman | Banquet Room & ZoomThe Millennium — the thousand-year reign of Christ on earth — occurs after the rapture of the Church and the seven-year tribulation but before the creation of the new heaven and the new earth, where believers will live eternally. In this study, Dr. David Jeremiah pulls back the veil of mystery and misinformation about the Millennium to give thoughtful, biblical illustrations of what life will be like when Christ the King rules upon the earth. Take this fascinating tour of our remarkable future life with the coming Golden Age and see how our understanding and response to the Millennium will transform our lives today. Cost: $10
MOMS — Making Our Mothering Significant
Semon on the Mount (Revised 2024)
by Jen Wilkin

Join us to learn these astonishing practical and relevant truths so that you might live wisely as a "kingdom of heaven citizen on earth" and teach your children to live wisely also. Class time will include discussion, video, prayer, testimonies, fellowship, and connection with a mentor mom in the Titus 2 model. Cost: $24
