Tuesday Evenings | 7:00 pm

Led by Brenna Novak. Your confidence and faith will grow when you trade self-defeating thoughts for God's truth. Today is the day to embrace your incredible worth as a woman who is uniquely fashioned and spiritually empowered. By recognizing the lies and replacing them with truth, we will learn to silence the voice inside that whispers "you're not good enough", accept God's grace and move past failures that have defined and confined you, and preload your heart with truth to fight your deepest insecurities. This group will go through the book "Enough - Silencing the Lies that Steal Your Confidence" by Sharon Jaynes. This group will start on March 14th, 2023.

ON HOLD

Led by Anita Ray. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 describes how the dead in Christ will be raised first from their graves, then all believers who are alive on that day will be caught up in the air to join Jesus in heaven. This study will dive deeper into the chaos that will envelop the entire world at the moment of our disappearing. It is our responsibility to share the Gospel. The Disappearing describes what the unsaved world will experience upon the disappearance of millions from around the world.  The Disappearing: Future Events That Will Rock the World does an amazing job of bringing the consequences of the rapture and the need for salvation beforehand to the forefront. You can purchase the book from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Mardel.

NOT CURRENTLY MEETING

Led by Colby Farren. Part 1 - Acts 1-8. This class is to examine how the early church was effective and to challenge the way we, as the body, live our daily lives. We will be discussing how to be bold, unashamed, and effective as we witness. This group will start meeting on February 9th and run until March 30th.

NOT CURRENTLY MEETING

Led by Georgie Waldrop. We will be looking at “equipping disciples who make disciples,” doing as Jesus did.  He made disciples who went out and made disciples, who then go out and make disciples!  We will discuss the necessary components of disciple-making so that every church member can play a part in reaching others for Christ.  We will take a look at what a disciple is, how disciples grow, and how to be an intentional leader!  This is what Jesus commanded us to do! This will be a 12 week study on "Real-life Discipleship Training Manual" by Jim Putnam, Avery Willis Jr, Brandon Guindon, and Bill Krause. We will meet at the COTH Independence Campus. Books are purchasable online or at Mardel.

2nd & 4th Friday Mornings | 11:30 am

Led by Lorrie Hopper. This group will consist of women who are 40+ and are retired, empty nesters or near-empty nesters (with teens).  The desire is for women to grow in Jesus and to make long-lasting relationships, as well as be able to “be who we are” safely while growing in God’s nurturing grace.  We will gather for lunch and fellowship at 11:30 on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month (location varies).  We will also be adding craft days (TBD).
