"Being Reformed: The Apostle’s Creed"

This 6-week study introduces the Apostle’s Creed by discussing the meaning of its phrases. To recognize what the phrases mean and ways they have been understood in our Reformed theological tradition is to move more deeply into our faith. The creed's meanings can strengthen our understanding, deepen our devotion, and give a vision for Christian living and action in the church and the world.

March 9, 16, 23; and, April 6, & 13

"Ashes to Glory"

Our Lenten Series will be led by Tom Elenbaas, who currently serves as the Chief Operating Officer for Ben’s Hope. Using themes from his latest book, Tom will lead us through discussions that will deepen our Lenten journeys as we travel from Ash Wednesday to Easter Morning. Copies of the devotional will be available starting Sunday. ($15) There are daily readings that will relate to the class and will provide a guide to a meaningful Lenten journey.

Spring Study: "Hosea" by Jennifer Rothschild

The book of Hosea—it’s a deeply personal and passionate love story, yet it’s a difficult story. As an account full of harsh judgment unfolds, we find in its midst a rare and pure gem: the truest and purest of loves.

​

 

Hosea, an Old Testament prophet, preached his own life message using his marriage as the sermon illustration. The study of Hosea looks deeply at that message. In this 7-session Bible study, Jennifer Rothschild provides background to better understand the intricacies of the man and his message. You’ll be guided to understand, but more especially to apply the message of the prophet of love.


Women's Bible Study meets on Wednesday mornings at 9:45 AM in the Fellowship Hall. For more information, contact Lynn Vander Laan or Marilyn Van Laan.

Turkey Trip (1).png

July 7-18, 2025

​

In July 2025, Pastor Kent will be leading a trip through GTI to Turkey! The purpose of this trip is to be engaged with God’s Word in its original context. So much of the New Testament was written to followers of Jesus in Asia Minor (modern day Turkey). This includes one Gospel and most of the Epistles. The Book of Acts describes the church’s missional efforts there. Firm commitments for participation are needed by September 1st, 2024.

If you have questions, please reach out to Pastor Kent, Betsy Frens or Anne Bauman.
