Sunday Small Group Study
Adults & Kids - Every 1st & 3rd Sunday - 9 am to 9:45 am
All are invited to join us for our Sunday small group studies. We offer a class for adults as well as a class for kids ages K - 5th grade. Our adult group study is entitled Multiply. God wants disciples of Jesus to make other disciples of Jesus. Francis Chan, best-selling author and founding Pastor of Cornerstone Church, and David Platt, author and Lead Pastor at McLean Bible Church, provide this simple, practical, biblical, helpful, and personal resource to help us understand Scripture and give us the tools to disciple others. Our younger kids (K to 5th grade) are beginning a new study program entitled All Together Sunday School. This curriculum is designed to simplify the teachings of the Bible for everyday life, and help children have a deeper relationship with God.
Sunday Morning Book Study
Adults - Every 2nd & 4th Sunday - 8:45 am to 9:45 am
We are currently studying Colin Marshall and Tony Payne's book, The Trellis and the Vine. The class meets on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month, starting @ 8:45 am. As we'll learn, all Christian ministry is a mixture of trellis and vine. There is vine work: the prayerful preaching and teaching of the Word of God to see people converted and grow to maturity as disciples of Christ. Vine work is the Great Commission. And there is trellis work: creating and maintaining the physical and organizational structures and programs that support vine work and its growth.The image of the trellis and the vine raises all the fundamental questions of Christian ministry:
· What is the vine for?
· How does the vine grow?
· How does the vine relate to my church?
· What is vine work and what is trellis work, and how can we tell the difference?
· What part do different people play in growing the vine?
· How can we get more people involved in vine work?
In The Trellis and the Vine, Colin Marshall and Tony Payne answer these urgent questions afresh. They dig back into the Bible’s view of Christian ministry and argue that a major mind-shift is required if we are to fulfill the Great Commission of Christ, and see the vine flourish again. This book study is for everyone who desires to see God grow the vine in and through His church at Kimmels, and how they can be used by Him to accomplish the work. Much discussion will be given on how to “shift” our mindset from trellis work back to a biblical vine focus.
Teen Sunday School
Every Sunday @ 9 am - Chapel
Our Teen Sunday School takes place in the lower level of the Chapel @ 9 am. Our curriculum is entitled 'Connect The Testaments'. Much of what we learn serves an immediate purpose, but God's Word has eternal life. That is why it is vital we seek his Spirit through prayer and Bible study. This study challenges our teens through reading the Word, thought provoking questions, and life application to properly exegete the Bible. The class is taught by Micah Ruch and Jared Williams.
Mid Week Prayer & Fasting
Wednesdays - 6 am
All are invited to join us each Wednesday morning from 6am to 7am as we pray for God's blessings and protection, for the health of our church family and leadership, for direction as we grow and move forward, and for our local and national leaders. Let’s expect God to do incredible things as we seek Him together!
Adult Study Group
Wednsdays 6:30 pm
Our Wednesday adult small Bible study group, led by Jared Williams, continues its study entitled A Slow Walk Through 1 John. We'll learn about and discuss the theological concepts and state of the church of the time ... and how the teachings of 1 John not only help us as believers build fellowship with God The Father, God The Son and God The Holy Spirit, but also help to build fellowship with one another.
Women's Study Group
Thursdays - 6:30 pm
Our Thursday women's group is looking at a study entitled Restored based on the book of Joel. Though it is just 3 short chapters, each one is filled with truths that point to the restoration only Jesus can provide. This study will:
• Unpack rich biblical truths that ultimately point to our joy found in Christ
• Remind you how God is faithful to His promises just as He will remain faithful to you
• Help you better understand the message of the Minor Prophets
• Show you how God can redeem your shame and mourning
• Walk you verse by verse so that you can learn to seek God, repent, and allow Him to restore you from the sin and shame in your life
Child Evangelism Fellowship Good News Club
The 'Good News Club' is a weekly Bible club for elementary kids that meets on Wednesday afternoons, at the Blue Mountain Elementary East building following the school day. The purpose of the ‘Good News Club ‘ is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of Jesus and disciple them in the Word of God. Kimmels Church is a proud sponsor of the Club that meets during the fall and spring school year. The Good News Club spring session continues through April 9.
The Journey Discipleship Program
The Journey is a one-year, intentional plan for discipleship that provides a purposeful process for maturing in Christ. Throughout The Journey, both new and seasoned disciples will encounter key ideas and practices to help them grow in Christ and mature as disciple makers. You can participate as either a mentor (leading a group or person through the series), or as a disciple (being led through the series). We are beginning a new Journey study in March. If you would like to register please contact the church office: 570-943-2759.
