Parenting With Hope: Raising Teens for Christ in a Secular Age
by Melissa B. Kruger
Teacher: Betty Farynyk & Nita Erlien | Room 242 (in person only)Join us to prepare for the unique challenges of parenting adolescents! In this study, we'll anchor our hopes and expectations in Christ — the true source of wisdom, strength, contentment, and fruitful parenting. Integrating sound biblical teaching, insights from developmental experts, and her experiences as a teacher and mother, author Melissa Kruger will guide us through today’s most common concerns so we can understand how to build up and bless our teens in God-honoring ways. This class also applies to moms with younger children and will include discussion, fellowship, and prayer. Cost: $22 (Please purchase both the Hardcover Book & Study Guide.)
2 Samuel
A Precept Upon Precept Study
by Kay Arthur
Teacher: Jackie Schaffer | Room 226 & Zoom
For those who long to grow closer to God, join us as we study David, a “man after God’s own heart.” We'll see him ascend to the throne and then descend into sin. But our faithful and loving God turns David's great sin to a victorious finish. Cost: $22
Women of the Word — Women of Purpose
by Jen Wilkin
Teacher: Angie Hyman | Room 227 (in person only)This study will help us go deeper into the Word of God without being seminary-educated or even an especially good student. During this session, we will look at five different study methods: Purpose, Perspective, Patience, Process, and Prayer. This class is open to all ages and will incorporate group discussion time as we apply these study methods to a particular book of the Bible. Cost: $8
He Speaks to Me: Preparing To Hear From God
by Priscilla Shirer
Teacher: Rometa Arrington | Room 222 & Zoom
When we approach God humbly and bow down before Him, we put ourselves in a position to hear from Him. Are you longing to hear God's voice but feeling disconnected? Let’s journey together and examine how God spoke to Samuel, Moses, Joshua, Jesus’s disciples, and many others — and how He speaks to Christians today. God is going to reveal Himself and His plan for you. Let’s commit to being obedient to whatever He says. The results will be glorious! This is a seven-lesson class. Cost: $25
Tuesday Evening Class
Praying the Names of Jesus
by Ann Spangler
Teacher: Cheri Strahm | Room 241 & Zoom
Would you love to have a richer and deeper relationship with Jesus? This course will focus on some of His names in Scripture, names we don’t often study but need to learn. Why is Jesus called the Lamb of God and the Lion of Judah? What does the Bible mean when it says Jesus is the Cornerstone? How can we give Him free rein to be the Prince of Peace in our daily lives? These and other names for Jesus will be part of our classroom study and daily devotional time offered in Spangler’s book. Allow God to draw you closer to His Son and learn to pray His name with confidence and deeper commitment to Him. Cost: $14

Fearful and Wonderful
by Amy Dunham
Teacher: Mary Beth Hohman
The Book of Habakkuk reveals an intimate relationship between Habakkuk, a man with a grieving heart, and the God who loves him. The boldness of the prophet’s cries, the suffering heard in his questions and doubts, and his final surrender are shown in light of his awe and faith in God. This study will take you on a journey of discovering God a little more.- Pre-order your study guide on Amazon or Regular Baptist Press.

Tuesday Morning Studies
Seeing Christ in Ezekiel
Tuesdays, 7:00–8:00 AM | January 7 – May 20
Welcome Center & Zoom
Dr. Terrill Nelson & Phil ComstockEzekiel was a young priest in Jerusalem when he was carried away from Jerusalem as a POW by the Babylonians into the internment camps in Mesopotamia. His world was in turmoil. God called Ezekiel, the prophet, to preach among unrepentant Jewish exiles who’d stubbornly refused to accept responsibility for their national sin. What a mess! With bizarre visions, strange object lessons, and mysterious teachings, we’ll study how God used Ezekiel to prophesy poignant lessons not only for a fifth-century BC Israel but also for us today.
Required Text Book: The book will be available through the Calvary office, or from Amazon, or christianbook.com — Exalting Jesus in Ezekiel (Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series)

2025 Bible Reading Plan
Join us in God's Word dailyAt Calvary, preaching and teaching the Word of God is central to who we are as a church family. It is essential that each one of us spends time reading the Bible every day.
In 2025, we'll use a Bible reading plan by the 19th-century Scottish minister Robert Murray M’Cheyne, who lived from 1813 to 1843. His plan has been modified to cover two years and incorporates both Old and New Testament Scripture daily.
