Young Women & Moms Bible Study
Abundant: A Bible study on the Fruit of the Spirit
from Well-Watered Women Co.
Aug 27-Oct 8 | 6:30-8:00pm | South Campus – Hebrews
With Kelly Bischof
Purchase the book here.
Most women long to be good—a good friend, a good church member, a good daughter, a good wife, and even a good Christian. But we often find ourselves failing to live up to our own standards, because we can’t produce fruitfulness by our own strength.
Jesus didn’t save you to continue on the path of the world and stay stuck in the shackles of sin. He came to give you abundant life in him—a gift of grace cultivated by the Holy Spirit bearing fruit in your heart and actions through the powerful Word of God. Abundant guides you in studying the fruit of the Spirit. Each week features one or two virtues and focuses first on how God characterizes love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control and then on how he bears that fruit in us as we abide in him.
God of Creation by Jen Wilkin
Sept 18-Nov 20 | 1:00-3:00pm | North Campus Lounge
With Lois Anfinrud
“In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth.” Where did everything come from? Why are we here? Why is the world so broken? How can that brokenness be made right? In its first eleven chapters, the Book of Genesis addresses our deepest questions, declaring to us a transcendent God and shaping our understanding of the Bible as a whole. Join Jen Wilkin as she walks through Genesis 1-11, searching these familiar passages for the larger meaning in the story of Scripture and in the life of every believer. In this 10-session video-based study you will: Cultivate a worshipful understanding of our holy, Creator God. Explore Genesis as the “seed plot of the Bible”, the place the redemptive story begins. Walk verse by verse through Genesis 1-11, tracing the themes of creation, fall redemption, and restoration.
Courageous Influence: Embrace the Way God Made You for Impact” by (in)courage
Sept 12-Oct 17 | 12:00-1:00pm | Atomic Coffee
With Karen Moore
In today’s social media-saturated world, the word influence conjures up images of beautifully curated Instagram feeds or women who lead from the stage and have thousands of followers. It’s measured by the number of likes and shares and how well we can get people to imitate us. Influence has almost become synonymous with fame and power, and if we’re honest, many of us long to have it.
But in its purest form, influence is simply the capacity to affect change on someone. It is the ability to impact others for a certain purpose. And from a biblical perspective, influence is the right and responsibility of everyone who follows Christ.
Courageous Influence will guide you in the journey of living the impact you were made to have through this six-session study. Let’s turn the world’s idea of influence on its head and become the courageous women of influence God calls us to be.

Ephesians by Jackie Hill Perry, et al.
Oct 9-Nov 20| 7:00-8:30pm | North Campus
With Karen Moore
Who am I? The question of identity is always in the back of our minds, and it’s currently at the forefront of social conversations. But the first question we need to ask is: Who is God? Then we can begin to consider, And who am I in light of who He is? In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul describes God as a merciful and forgiving Father who unites us in Christ and empowers us to live by the Spirit. We’re adopted children and fellow citizens with the saints because of God’s loving pursuit on our behalf.
In this study we’ll walk through the book of Ephesians, examining the invaluable truths Paul’s letter holds for us today. Along the way, they’ll help us understand the riches of our inheritance as daughters of our heavenly Father, as well as what it means to walk in a manner worthy of our calling.
