Women’s Bible Studies | Spring 2024

Mornings and evenings, starting the week of January 22

We believe women grow spiritually when they spend time studying the Bible together. We have several options to choose from at our Cactus, Fountain Hills, North Ridge, and Shea campuses, as well as online. Come join us—there is a seat saved just for you!

All women are welcome to join us for Worship & the Word every Tuesday or Wednesday morning. Check your campus below for more details!

CACTUS CAMPUS

*Childcare not available

Living Free
Teacher: Lisa Harman | Cost: $30

God has an incredible purpose for us in this life, and we get to know and love the God of the universe, and even participate in His plans as we spread His fame throughout the earth. Jesus promised us abundant life and joy not dependent on life circumstances, yet life in this fallen world is harsh, and trouble abounds. It’s easy to become weighed down with worries, defeat, past hurts, hopelessness, and other bondages that can dull or block our intimacy with Christ and make us feel stuck. This class will give us new tools to dismantle strongholds and live fully free in His power and purposes. The goal is transformation, and the time is now!

This class uses the Knowing Freedom book. If you already purchased a copy during one of Rustin’s classes, email women@scottsdalebible.com to receive a discount code. Class ends April 15.
