Wednesday Morning Bible Study

Wednesdays at 10:00 AM | The Meeting Room | Led by the Rev. Lauren Banks

Our midweek Bible study gathers each Wednesday morning for scripture reading, reflection, and conversation. The group follows a lectionary-based rhythm, exploring the passages that shape our worship and common life. There's no preparation required and no prior Bible knowledge assumed. Come as you are. Bring your questions — they're welcome here.

What To Expect

Each gathering begins with a brief prayer, moves into reading the text together, and opens into conversation guided by Rev. Lauren.

The tone is informal and exploratory — more roundtable than classroom. Sessions typically run about an hour. New participants are welcome any week. You don't need to sign up in advance — just show up.

People sitting around tables in a well-lit room, engaged in conversation, with notebooks, pens, drinks, and snacks on the tables.

Parents Thursday Morning Bible Study

2nd and 4th Thursdays at 10:00 AM | Led by the Rev. Jenifer Gamber

Parents gather to read Scripture together, ask honest questions, and pray for one another. We will read the story of God and God's people, starting at the beginning and making our way through the entire sweep of the salvation narrative.

Please use the button below to let the Rev. Jenifer Gamber know that you are interested in attending the parent Bible study on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays when your schedule allows.

We understand parents have very busy schedules, so there is no commitment to attending every gathering. Please feel free to attend only when you are able.
