Spiritual Growth Branch

The best way to grow spiritually and strengthen your personal relationship with Jesus Christ is by getting to know Him! Learning and understanding scripture is the foundation for learning to live a life for Christ. Whether you have never participated in a Bible Study or have participated in several, we invite you to draw near to God and be blessed by His Word.

Choose from a variety of Bible Studies offered Wednesday morning and evening with childcare provided for children under five. Classes range from eight to twelve weeks and begin in September, January and June. Women in the Word Bible studies are also a wonderful opportunity to develop relationships with other women who love the Lord.
