Sundays at 9:30am | Room 201 (Immanuel, 2nd Floor) | Led by Raymond Monroe

Jesus calls to us to be His disciples and characterizes us as disciples who love one another. What does it mean to be a disciple? Is being a disciple about my spiritual journey? We will explore some of the distortions identified in the book The Disciple Dilemma by Dennis Allen.

Every other Tuesday 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. | Room 204 Main Campus | Led by Don Kearley | Resumes January 7

Many people who are great by the world’s standards or are in positions of authority lord their greatness over those they consider below them. But not our Lord Jesus. The Lord of heaven and earth took on the lowly form of a man to serve humanity and to sacrifice His life to ransom people from sin, death, and Satan. Come study the life of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark and learn of His servant heart, miraculous powers, and triumph won through His sacrificial death and victorious resurrection.

Tuesdays 8:15-9:30am | The Well | Led by Laura Wright | Meets every other week resuming January 14

If there’s a gap between the ideal image in your head of the perfect mother, daughter, wife, sister, co-worker and the person you see in the mirror each day, welcome to the human race. Paul struggled with forces inside of him that longed for better and for worse simultaneously, and he wrote a letter to the Roman Christians to explain how we can never rise above this inner conflict on our own Here’s the good news - we don’t have to. You already know the answer is “Jesus”, but in Romans, Paul tells us both why and how Jesus is the only path to true freedom. This study meets every-other week.

Monday 6:30 p.m. | Immanuel - Well | Led by Pastor James Kirk | Resumes January 6
