Please see below for descriptions of this season's bible studies.

How does it work?

Most of the reading is done individually using your study guide throughout the week. There are five days of reading and reflection for each chapter (designed to take about 15-20 minutes per day), and then the group meets together weekly to discuss their thoughts on the whole chapter. Every few weeks you will watch a video together that goes along with your study and discuss.

Keeping In Balance:

Saturdays 8:30am

Do you feel pulled in many directions? Do you find it hard to balance the demands placed on your time? Is it difficult to manage all the details thrown your way? God wants to support and help us so that we can be our best in every season of our lives.

Come along on a journey throughout Scripture as we discover the relevance of Old and New Testament wisdom to our daily challenges. In this 22-lesson study, we’ll explore Biblical ideas for managing life’s pace and pressure while living with calm and steadiness. Your lifestyle of health and holiness awaits.


Try Keeping in Balance if you…

  • Are tired of projecting an image of “perfect”

  • Have trouble making God your highest priority

  • Can’t find enough time to give to loved ones

  • Have unrealistic expectations of yourself and others

  • Need help setting healthy boundaries


This study will take place on Saturday mornings beginning October 1.

You can order the book for the Keeping in Balance study here.

Ordering Your Priorities / Fearless & Free:

Wednesdays at 9:00am or 7:30pm

Ordering Your Priorities [October-December]

Another glass of wine, just one more episode on Netflix, a little more scrolling on Instagram…Women are numbing out at ever-increasing rates. Why? What is it about our lives that makes us feel so overwhelmed? What might change if we figured out how to build lives that we like?

Ordering Your Priorities: Building a Life Well Lived is an immensely practical Bible study that will help you put the most important things first. We’ll begin by paying attention to the One who made us, because He can best tell us what we need for our lives to run well.

Ordering Your Priorities, an eight-lesson Bible study, is ideal if you...

  • Are ready to discover not only what matters most in life but also how to prioritize those things

  • Long to feel satisfied at the end of the day, knowing that you’ve loved your family not just in your heart but also in your schedule

  • Want to create a life that you don’t need to escape






Fearless & Free [January-March]

Fearless and Free is a six-lesson Bible study based on the book of Ephesians that is ideal for Lent. So many of us are wrestling through the reality that life isn’t easy, even when we are doing the right thing. Suffering can slam into us from left field, leaving us reeling.

This study provides a firm foundation to stand on no matter what life throws our way. With an emphasis on healing and wholeness, Fearless and Free is the most personal and transformative study that Walking with Purpose has offered so far.

This is what we’ll discover through the pages of this study:

  • We need to WAKEN to the reality of who we are in Christ, and that we have an enemy who seeks to steal our true identity

  • We need to WRESTLE with the battle in our minds—bringing our thoughts in captivity to Christ

  • We need to be strengthened as WARRIORS so that we can move forward in life—not just surviving, but flourishing

This study will take place on Wednesdays beginning October 5.

You will need to order both books (the price is the same as one longer study). They can be found here.
