WOMEN'S Ministries

WOMEN, WELCOME!

We are glad you stopped by here! Our Women’s Ministry is designed with you in mind. We want to encourage you, help you find the support you need, and help you grow in your relationship with Jesus and other women. See below for our current groups. Email us at hello@gracebibleag.com with any questions.

WOMEN'S GROUPS

We all need a village, a group of friends, a circle of ladies who can help hold us up, encourage us, challenge us, and teach us more about ourselves and Jesus. This was true last year, and it is true again today. As we navigate whatever season we’re in, we encourage you to find a group.

Learn about our current groups/studies by navigating the left and right arrows. As always, please reach out to us at hello@gracebibleag.com if you need help, prayer, or simply some words of encouragement!

Armor of God

When: Thursdays 9:00am
Author: Priscilla Shirer
Leader: Jonette Graber

Description:
All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you — unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, your resilience, your dreams, your destiny. But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you're tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this study is for you. The enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion. The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer's inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory.

Entrusted with a child’s heart

A Biblical Study in Family Life
When: Thursdays 9:00am
Author: Betsy Corning
Leaders: Rhonda Bricker & Valerie Boness

Description:
Based on over 30 years of study and extensive ministry with families, Entrusted with a Child’s Heart guides parents in developing a plan of discipleship for their children. Readers will learn to build their family on a foundation of faith in Jesus Christ, live by biblical convictions and priorities, develop a protective circle of discipline for children, parent challenging behaviors such as rebellion and manipulation, train children in Christ-like character, and disciple children to grow in areas such as spiritual disciplines and relationships.

Get out of your head

A Study in Philippians
When: Thursdays 9:00am
Author: Jennie Allen
Leaders: Julie Adams-Nearman & Nancy Andersen

Description:
In Get Out of Your Head, Jennie Allen inspires and equips us to transform our emotions, our outlook, and even our circumstances by taking control of our thoughts. Our enemy is determined to get in our heads to make us feel helpless, overwhelmed, and incapable of making a difference for the kingdom of God. But when we submit our minds to Christ, the promises of God’s goodness floods our lives in remarkable ways. It starts in your head. And from there, the possibilities are endless.

Jude

Contending for the Faith in Today’s Culture
When: Thursdays 9:00am
Author: Jackie Hill Perry
Leaders: Pam Kaar & Audrey Sun

Description:
Jude is the book just before Revelation and the author is one of Jesus’ brothers. Although Jude is a very short book in the Bible, Jackie Hill Perry will help us find the connections the book has to both New and Old Testament scriptures. Jude will help us in our struggle to live and speak about our faith in today’s challenging culture. The letter written by Jude tells us about God’s great mercy, through Jesus Christ, and helps us learn to be merciful.

PRECEPT UPON PRECEPT: DANIEL PART 1

Living Out a Biblical Worldview
When: Thursdays 9:00am
Author: Precept with Kay Arthur & Wayne Barber
Leader: Renee Dobyns

Description:
Why study the book of Daniel? It has been said that, what Revelation is to the New Testament, Daniel is to the Old. Daniel is God’s pattern for the future. As we progress through the study of Daniel, you will gain a greater understanding of your God and your future. If you want your faith strengthened, if you want insight into the future, if you want to be lost in the wonder and awe of your God, and if you want to know how to live in a society opposed to all you believe, then you have chosen a wonderful study: the book of Daniel.

With us in the wilderness

When: Tuesdays 6:30pm
Author: Lauren Chandler
Leaders: Betsy Newell

Description:
In With Us in the Wilderness, Lauren Chandler leads you through the book of Numbers, examining the Israelite’s journey through the wilderness to the promised land. This seven-session study will encourage you to trust God through your lonely wilderness season, exploring the Old Testament stories to give you a deeper understanding of His redeeming love.

A Post-Abortion Bible Study for Women

FORGIVEN & SET FREE

Confidential, one-on-one, location determined by you

Hi, I’m Christie Eckert.

I used to sit in the church pews suffering in silence with guilt, shame, and grief from an abortion I had when I was 18 years old. I struggled with forgiving myself and with accepting that God really had forgiven me. I prayed for an opportunity for God to use me for His glory and to give what I had been through a purpose. I started volunteering at my local crisis pregnancy clinic. Before I could go through counselor training, I participated in a Bible study, Forgiven & Set Free by Linda Cochrane. The impact of this study was life changing. I met other women who were suffering just like me. All our stories were different but we were able to empathize and support each other and grow in our walks with the Lord. Are you one of us? God does not want you suffering in silence. He wants you to know His redeeming grace and to find lasting healing. This study walks us through issues such as relief, denial, anger, forgiveness, depression, letting go, and acceptance using God’s Word.
