Sunday & Wednesdays beginning August 25/28 (6:30-8)

“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” ~ Matthew 7:24
What: This 12-week class will cover the entire Bible and will equip participants with knowledge and application of themes, books, people, events, and verses. The goal will be to become firmly established in an understanding of the Bible so that we will grow in love for God, His Word, His people, and all other people in our midst. In the spring, we will offer a companion to this class called “Foundations in Theology.”
How: Each lesson will survey a section of the Bible (moving consecutively from Genesis to Revelation), discuss a major theme that runs through the entire Bible (Jesus, covenant, promise and fulfillment, etc.), equip participants in the practical application of Bible reading and studying (including leading family devotions), and practice memorizing key Bible verses (10 Commandments, Lord’s Prayer, Great Commandment, Great Commission, etc.).
Who: We encourage all Grace adults and teens, men and women, to take this class once during the next three years (we will offer it every year). To make it easy to do so, we will offer two options with identical material (you would come either on Sunday or Wednesday). Beginning in 2026, this class will be a prerequisite for future officers of Grace.
When & Where: Identical classes will be offered Sunday evenings beginning August 25, and Wednesday evenings beginning August 28, from 6:30-8 p.m. Location TBD.
Wednesday evening classes will be offered as part of MidWeek Grace with concurrent children's programming. There will be no children's programming for the Sunday evening classes.
Sundays: August 25 - November 17 (no classes 10/13 because of GIC)
Wednesdays: August 28 - November 20 (no classes 10/30 because of Getty concert)

Priceless Pearls: Women with a Divine Purpose
Nancy Frantz - Women's Topical Bible Study
Front Porch Room (116)
Come and get a glimpse into the lives and ministries of women of faith at Grace. Inspiring women will share their insights and life experiences. The goal of the Priceless Pearls study is to equip us to speak biblical truth to friends and family.
Various women will be highlighted and a fresh new topic will be presented each week. Biblical counseling, how to help an abused friend, mentorship, and ways to reach your friends, are a few topics that will be covered.
Come join us as we learn to navigate life's challenges and then help others who are in need. There will also be a devotion each week.

(1st - 6th Grade Girls)

Pioneer Girls is a time for fun, developing friendships, and learning about our Savior. Your daughter will connect with other girls led by a female Guide who comes alongside her as a mentor to train them how Christian girls should live and think.
What your child will be doing: Club begins with saying the pledges and prayer. Most of the evening will be spent working on earning badges, much like Girl Scouts. They might bake something in the kitchen, put together a birdhouse, make a collage, or go hiking. Then it’s time for “Bible Ex” (exploration), where the girls will dig into their Bibles to learn more about what it means to be a girl who follows God. But there is plenty of time for goofiness, too! Don’t be surprised if your girl comes home singing a silly song! Club is lots of fun!
Special Events: There are a few main events throughout the year:
Christmas Party
Father-Daughter Dinner
Overnight Camp
