BattleZONE Discipleship
Not currently in session
Are you ready to be a warrior? The apostle Paul said that "bodily training is worth only a little, but spiritual training is an investment in eternity" so enough half-hearted, wimpy Christianity – let’s get real and do battle – in the BattleZONE.
Most men learn best by seeing and doing, by being mentored and coached. BattleZONE is designed to create a culture of open learning where men like you can bring real-life temptations and struggles into the open where they can be taught, shown and coached. Find out more about BattleZONE discipleship by contacting Damon Schlenske (449-7618).

Women's Sunday Morning Classes
Fellowship Room - Sunday mornings @ 9:45am (Spring and Fall)
Offered during the spring and fall quarters, the Women's Sunday morning classes seek to equip women to know Christ intimately and to grow that relationship through the study of His Word. We hope that you will join us as we delve into another study that encourages, challenges and leads us into a more intimate relationship with our wonderful God. This is also a great time to get acquainted with other women and to make those connections that each of us so desperately need.

Christianity 101. Meet downstairs in the Worship Center basement to learn how to live as a strong and mature woman of Christ. Join us.

Two midweek Bible studies are offered from September to May. These are designed to allow women the opportunity for more in-depth Bible study and fellowship with other women. If you have a passion for exploring God's Word and how it applies to your life as a woman, this is the place to be.

MOPS - Mothers Of PreSchoolers
Fall Semester begins on September 15th
Fellowship Room - 1st & 3rd Wednesdays @ 9:00am - 11:00am ($5 per meeting fee)
Child care check-in from 8:45am - 9:00am
In 2010, MOPS invites you to join in the learning process as together we explore Momology: The Art and Science of Mothering. Mothering is both art and science. It combines all of who we are to shape healthy, resilient kids. Mothering is so complex it requires both sides of our brain – not to mention our hands and feet, eyes and ears, mouth and (sniff, sniff) unfortunately, sometimes even our noses! There's the scientific side of mothering where we develop a hypothesis based on certain principles, test that hypothesis in real-time, consider the results and decide what parts worked and what parts didn't. We keep refining our hypotheses until we find what works for us. Intertwined with the scientific, mothering requires an artistry that shades with our personality, colors with our unique gifts, and blends past and current experiences.
MOPS International has identified four essential elements for successful outcomes with our kids.

Core is about knowing and growing ourselves. Understanding and working with our unique temperament, experiences, and emotions in a way that develops resilience. Research clearly shows that a mom with a strong, resilient core is more likely to raise a child with a strong, resilient core.

Finesse is about honing practical mothering skills—intentionally carrying out our daily responsibilities in ways that encourage growth and resilience in our kids.

Circle is about building relationships with neighbors, care-givers, extended family and, most importantly, with our husbands or for single moms, with a parenting partner.

Grandscape is about engaging with God and his unique purpose for our lives. Both secular and Christian research identifies faith in God as an essential element for successful mothering.

Through Momology, as we explore together, we’ll be guided by an all-knowing, all-powerful, always-present God. Our theme verse for the year is: Even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. (Psalm 139:10)Anywhere we go, God sees, knows, and guides. So we can lead — and love — knowing God will get us through all the hard spots, all our decisions, all our roles, all our times we can’t hold open our eyelids and the times we’re bursting with joy. God’s hand guides us as we guide our children. As we study Momology together to become better moms making a better world.

'Moms In Touch' Prayer Group
Conference Room - Wednesdays @ 12:00 noon
Moms in Touch is a group of mothers and grandmothers who meet each week to pray for their children and the schools they attend. Moms in Touch is for mothers, grandmothers or anyone who is willing to pray for children and schools, preschool through college, whether public, private or home school.  This prayer group is also a wonderful encouragement to moms as we bear one another's burdens. As one mother said, “Many moms have been praying by themselves, but there is more power and support when we get together.  Such a relief to have Moms in Touch.”
