Delighting in the Lord

The Delighting in the Lord studies are verse-by-verse studies written by Stacy Davis and Brenda Harris under the theological oversight of Pastor Chris Swansen. Each study week goes through specific verses with inductive, deductive, and personal application questions. Weekly study questions take about 1-1.5 hours to complete. Study meets Thursday mornings with Kids and Youth In Christ ministries (separate registration required with limited space). There is no childcare on Thursday evenings although Youth Group meets at the same time as the evening sessions.
Format for Thursday Morning Study:
Worship and teaching in the sanctuary followed by discussion groups in classrooms with facilitators. Small groups have about 10–15 women in each group. Biblical discussion on the homework, prayer, and fellowship are a part of the small groups.

Two discussion groups meet on Thursday evenings for discussion time only from 7:00–8:30 PM. The live teaching, from the morning DITL session, can be viewed online independently during the week.

Healing Hearts Ministry
Gospel-centered, grace-driven personal ministry for those who are wounded.
Jesus warned that we would have struggles in this life. Sometimes we are the agent of our own struggles,
sometimes we suffer because of the decisions of others. Whatever the case, Healing Hearts Bible Studies
provide a clear Biblical path to find healing from life's hurts. Our leaders have come to the ministry
through the healing of our own hurts; so, you can walk with someone who understands, has walked the hard road,
and has been trained to come alongside and personally minister to you. For more information, visit the Healing Hearts page.
