Women's Bible Study
Women's Bible Study is unique to the role that women play in our society according to Biblical scripture. Women can also share the unique challenges and concerns that they face on a day-to-day with one another in a small group setting while studying and journaling about scripture.
Why Start or Join a Women’s Bible Study?
God is gracious to give us a glimpse of Heaven’s community while we are here on earth by allowing us to experience meaningful relationships with other believers. We should meet together often to worship, study, and enjoy one another’s company as we look forward to the day when we will be in perfect community with Christ and the church.
How to Start or Join a Women’s Bible Study
- Choose a topic (i.e. hospitality, grace), passage or book of the Bible (i.e. Ephesians, Psalm 23), character (i.e. Ruth, Paul), or Christian book to study.
- Choose a date and time.
- Invite others to join you!

Top 3 Advantages of a Women’s Bible Study
- Enjoy community. We were not created to be alone; we were made for relationships. Joining a Bible study group gives you the opportunity to build relationships, study God’s word, seek encouragement and accountability, and cultivate a sense of belonging.
- Discipleship. As you read and study God's word together and grow a closeness to one another, you allow for opportunities to be discipled and to disciple others. You can seek advice from women who have already gone through what you are facing and offer advice and prayer to women who are facing something you’ve already been through.
- Learn. Bible studies help you grow in your knowledge and understanding of scripture.

Do this with a group of like-minded sisters makes life not only more enjoyable, but easier as we learn to share one another’s burdens and grow in mutual affection and care for one another.
