Never read the Bible the same way again! Women’s Ministry at Immanuel invites you to experience the joy and transforming power of not just reading but digging deep – really studying God’s Word. It is God’s Word, His invitation to know Him and see life in and through His Son, Jesus Christ. When we study the Word, we find truth, help, and hope that motivates us to love God more. When we love Him, we obey Him. As we obey Him, our thinking, behavior, and attitudes are transformed! Whether you are new to Bible Study or not, come and be part of a group of women who set aside time each week to study God’s word, encourage, pray for, and support one another.
Immanuel offers women a variety of Bible study groups that meet during the week on the Immanuel campus and online. Morning and evening studies are available with childcare for most that meet at Immanuel. All classes begin the week of September 10 unless otherwise noted.

Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.
— Ephesians 4:15-16

The Significant Woman course is a biblically based, life-coaching, discipleship resource for women developed by CRU. Its goal is to help women understand how they are uniquely designed and equipped to accomplish what God has called them to do.
The course covers six biblical principles and reinforces them with activities and group discussion. As women work their way through the course and Scripture, they will come to appreciate the way God has designed them and their lives. They are encouraged and supported by the other women in their small group as they search the scriptures together and pray for one another.
No matter what season of life you’re in, this course will help you experience a renewed passion for living, a more intimate relationship with God, and a stronger sense of God’s unique plan for your life.

“There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). Salvation is at the heart of the promise of the book of Acts and by studying it we witness the power of the gospel as it spreads throughout the world and transforms lives. God can and does do the same through us—changing our hearts, empowering us by the Holy Spirit, and giving us a passion to spread the good news of salvation through Christ.

Through this study, the group will learn details about the giving of the Ten Commandments, Israel's growth and rebellion in the desert, and the building of the tabernacle where God dwelt among His people. Throughout we will find themes of freedom, given by God the Father, made accessible to us through Christ, and worked out in our lives through the Holy Spirit. New group members are welcome and are encouraged to read through the first half of Exodus several times to prepare to study the second half together.
