Spiritual Growth Branch

"Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path." Psalm 119:105

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.

Key Concepts in Revelation


This class will explore some of the key ideas that Revelation houses.  We will borrow out of Kay Arthur's exhaustive study on Revelation as well as Beth Moore's Daniel Study and utilize the book, Revelation: Unlocking the Mysteries of the End Times. I will attempt to make simpler what seems to be complicated. Whether you are a Bible "novice" or an in-depth scholar you will be at home in this class. Power point and handouts with weekly assignments will be available to enhance your grasp of ideas. (8 week study)
