Women's Bible Study Classes & Book Clubs

We value all generations seated together around the table at our Bible Studies!  However, childcare costs and fees can often deter moms and women from attending.  Personally, when my boys were little – living on a single teacher’s income – I couldn’t afford to come to WBS, but someone paid my way for me by covering my childcare costs.  If you wish to donate to help young moms and women who might not be able to afford WBS, you can provide your donation here and select Women’s Ministry Fund.

• Available Tuesday mornings for ages 6 mo. – kindergarten.  
• FEES (childcare + reg):
  • 1 child – $25 ($35)
  • 2 children – $35 ($45) 
  • 3 or more children – $45 ($55)

In this 10-session, verse-by-verse study of the book of Joshua, Jen Wilkin helps us see God’s continued faithfulness to fulfill His covenant promises, both to Israel then and to us today.  Jen Wilkin helps us see how God’s commands, though sometimes difficult, are always rooted in His steadfast love for His people.  Isreal’s story is our story.  We battle not against flesh and blood as they did, but we courageously war against the temptations of the world, the flesh, and the Devil, trusting in the finished work of the true and better Joshua, Jesus Christ.  Come join us as we find assurance in God’s faithfulness throughout all generations.

The most important question you will ever answer is this: Who do you believe Jesus Christ is? Mark’s account of Jesus’ life gives you the answer, and it is more action-packed and fast-paced than the other three Gospel records. Mark shows you what Jesus actually did. You will discover that Jesus left no doubt about who He claimed to be. His miracles demonstrated His authority over sickness and infirmity, spiritual darkness, dead religion, threats from nature, and even death itself.

What does it really mean to walk with God, not just for a season, but for a lifetime? No two people in Scripture walked with God identically, and the same is true for all of us.  Sometimes a stretch of miles when God seems gloriously obvious can be followed by months of wondering where He’s gone.  God has His own objective for each season of our walks, and some of them will remain a mystery until we see His face.  This study will journey through Scripture to explore what walking with God looks like throughout the biblical storyline.

This book is about following Jesus – not just as your Savior but as your priority, your first love, your Lord. To move beyond being a believer to becoming His disciple.
Because there is a difference.
Salvation is a gift of God. It’s free. It’s grace. It’s the cross. Discipleship comes at a high cost. It’s surrender. It’s effort. It’s a daily choice to lay down your life and follow His. Few believers choose this route, but the ones who do will experience the abundance that only the surrendered life can offer. It’s the one choice standing between you and the life of freedom and fulfillment, of peace and purpose you’ve always wanted. I Surrender All is all about making that choice.
