Join us as we dive into Jeremiah: Daring to Hope in an Unstable World by Melissa Spoelstra! We’ll kick off with an introduction session on Tuesday, May 6 and Thursday, May 8.

Book orders will be placed by Friday, May 2, so be sure to sign up soon!

Using Melissa's study guide alongside video sessions from Amplify, we’ll officially begin our six-week study on May 13 and May 15, journeying together through the end of June (with a break for the Memorial Day holiday).

In today’s chaotic world—where relationships strain, finances falter, and daily demands overwhelm—hope often feels out of reach. But the Book of Jeremiah reminds us that even in instability, God calls His people to intentional living and lasting hope. How do we cling to that hope? Where do we begin? Come find out with us. We can’t wait to walk this encouraging journey together!

Join us on Wednesday evenings this Lenten season for a time of fellowship, learning, and spiritual growth. The evening begins with an optional, open-house-style dinner, providing an opportunity to connect before we break into age-specific Bible studies. Programs are available for children as young as six months through adulthood, and registration is required.

This year, we’ll explore The Third Day: Living the Resurrection by Tom Berlin. Through compelling storytelling and biblical insight, Berlin brings to life the experiences of those closest to Jesus in his final days. Rather than focusing on loss, this study emphasizes themes of new life and redemption.

Walk alongside Peter, Mary Magdalene, and Thomas as they navigate the sorrow of Jesus’ death and the unexpected joy of his resurrection. We’ll also journey with Paul, the disciples on the road to Emmaus, and others whose lives were transformed by the risen Christ.
