Throughout the year, we offer mid-week Bible studies for men and women from every age and stage of life. Our studies range in difficulty and outside time commitment.

Meeting regularly for teaching, accountability, and friendship builds our personal commitment to follow Jesus passionately, connects us in mutual community, and makes us into committed disciples. Registration is required for most Bible studies—use the button below to register for any of the following studies:

Led by Christian Blumenfeld
This powerful letter magnifies the absolute supremacy and all-sufficient work of Jesus Christ, who sustains all things and reconciles His chosen people to Himself. Together, we will discover how our identity is securely hidden in Christ, proving that our justification, sanctification, and ultimate redemption rest entirely in His hands. No prior Bible study experience is required—just a desire to pull up a chair, marvel at the doctrines of grace, and anchor your life in the objective truth of Scripture.

We gather every Thursday at 6:00am to dive into the text, discuss practical Christian living, and build community. Come as you are, bring a friend, and discover what it means to be chosen, holy, and dearly loved as we learn to live entirely for the sake of the gospel and the glory of God.
