The Reality of Christ in Women...
Changed Lives, Changed Generations
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Ephesians 3.20-21
I'm glad you're looking at Faith's website, and I hope you 'll take a moment to think through the verse (above :) from Ephesians!
Simply put, we really believe Jesus changes women's lives. In ways so big, we could never dream them up ourselves.
And when our lives are changed that way, the ripples (and shock waves :) can affect the course of generations - in our homes, communities, churches - around the world!
And since what He does in our lives is so much bigger than anything we could ever work up on our own, the glory goes back to Him.
Every study and opportunity on this page is to challenge you - don't be satisifed with a life of mediocrity!
So...join a Bible study and learn what He has for you - it's all there in His Word. Really.
You'll find sustaining friendships naturally develop when you're part of a Bible study - you come away encouraged and challenged, with the opportunity to build into other women's lives, too.
Faith has a study almost every day and night of the week - no excuses!
If you have questions, contact me. God's Word - studying it and learning how to pray from it - has rocked my world. I'd love to share the joy and hope He's given me ~

Titus2Women
New format. New time. New place.
Christy Davis teaching one evening a month | 6:30 PM | KidzTown Gym
Boldness.
Unity.
Power.
Join us as Christy takes us through Acts and examines 3 characteristics that enabled the early church to fulfill the Great Commission and live on an unprecedented level.
God desires that we live our lives with the same boldness that took early believers out into their streets and communities. The same unity that caused the early church to bear one another's burdens. The same power that healed and transformed lives.
Join us one Sunday evening a month to look at what happens when we grasp the powerful potential of women to take Jesus throughout our everyday lives.
After Christy teaches, we'll break up into discussion groups around the tables.
Coffee bar :) Yes.
As an added bonus, if you want to learn a new skill - after the study's over - Andrea Cash is going to bring some of her ideas - you've probably seen her work at specialty stores or Etsy.com -and don't realize the creator goes to Faith - amazing.
And, once you tell us what you're interested in, we may even use the post-study time to throw in a few 'life' skills. (How to coupon like crazy? No worries - no crocheted toliet paper covers :)
Or you may just want to hang out and drink another latte...

A Heart Like His: Seeking the Heart of God Through a Study of David by Beth Moore | 6:30 PM | Sept. 8
In this Bible study of David – the man the Bible calls a "man after God's own heart" – explore the pastures, caves, and palace of one of the most well known figures in history. David will make you laugh and cry. He will delight and disappoint you. He will make you want to be just like him at times and nothing like him at others. He is sure to capture your interest if you let him. And God is sure to change your heart — if you let Him. David’s life clearly demonstrates that God is always able to reach us, correct us, and reclaim our worship. If you've ever experienced doubts, temptations, losses, personal inconsistencies, or if you've anguished over family problems, then this study is for you. Fall semester. Modular #2.
