Studies and Small Groups
First Baptist Church has many small group opportunities for prayer, Bible study and examining life’s issues from a biblical perspective.
Women’s Studies
The Wednesday Night Women’s Bible Study will begin a study on "Having a Mary Spirit - Allowing God to Change Us from the Inside Out". This study meets in Room 208 and begins at 6:00 p.m on September 10, 2008. If you need more information or want to join the group, please call Tammy Van Gils at 798-7802.
The Wednesday Morning Women’s Bible Study will begin a new study by Beth Moore "Living Beyond Yourself; Exploring the Fruit of the Spirit" on September 10 at 9:30 AM. This study meets in room 208. This is a 10-week bible study on the fruit of the spirit as presented in the book of Galatians. The study will walk you through each trait listed in the fruit and encourage you to know the freedom of a spirit-filled life. Fore more information, contact Peggy Shelton at 798-2008. Childcare provided.
The Tuesday Night Women’s Bible Study will resume meeting in September. It is held at the home of Earlene Mitchell and begins promptly at 7:00 p.m. .For further information or to join the group, please contact Elaine Mallory at 804-550-3744.
The Sunday Afternoon Women’s Bible Study has just completed a 10-week Beth Moore study “David -- A Heart Like His” and will now take a break until September. This study meets at the church in Room 208 at 4:00 p.m. For further information or to join the group, please contact Kay Morrell at 804-550-9099.
*All Beth Moore Bible studies are interactive in nature, video driven and usually require five lessons of weekly personal preparation. Each of the five lessons require 30 to 45 minutes to properly complete and can be viewed as a daily devotional. Over a 10 week period, this is a considerable investment of time. To quote Beth, “If you spend this kind of time in the word of God, I assure you, He will change your life.”
