Qualified professionals who offer great knowledge and insight regarding the class topic teach all classes. See below to learn more about each individual class currently being offered and to register.

Marriage is a gift from God given to us so that we might experience the joys of unconditional love with a lifelong partner. God designed marriage to be the most intimate and holy earthly relationship between a husband and wife. It is a sacred covenant that mirrors our relationship with God. Our Vows Premarital Class was created to help dating, engaged, or newly married couples learn more about the marriage relationship, be equipped with tools and techniques that cultivate deeper connection, and implement effective practices that foster healthy, Christ-centered relationships. Each class will be taught by highly skilled professional counselors who specialize in the week’s topic. The class is offered twice each year taking place in February and August. The topics that are covered include: a biblical foundation of marriage, communication, conflict resolution, family of origin, marital expectations, relationship roles, affection, intimacy, relational-joy, and much more. Join us as we seek to help you in building a life-long marital relationship.

Thrive is a gathering of women from all walks of life who seek to study God’s Word together. It’s our desire to constantly grow in our knowledge and understanding of God through exploring different biblically-based studies. Our newest study will be “A Study on Prayer” from Kelly Minter, Jackie Hill Perry, Jen Wilkin, Jennifer Rothschild, Jada Edwards, and Kristi McLelland.

Do you have trouble thinking of words to say to God when you pray? Are you afraid some emotions are too intense to express to God? Do you reach the end of a day only to realize you haven’t prayed at all? You’re not alone. Prayer is the way we relate to God, but sometimes it’s a struggle. Throughout God’s Word, we encounter many voices who teach us how to pray.

In this study, join with six beloved Bible teachers who will help you study prayers in the Bible that can inspire your own. You’ll learn that God welcomes your praise and lament, your thanksgiving and intercession. You’ll see examples of how to pray when you’re alone and when you’re gathered with others. Above all, you’ll notice there’s no one right way to pray. As you draw near to God through prayer, you’ll find your faith strengthened and your heart united to Christ.

The Park Meadows Women’s Bible Study is for women of all ages who desire to know and be transformed by God’s Word. Whether you are just beginning your journey of following Jesus, or you’ve been a follower for many years, our gatherings intentionally help you dig deeper into God’s Word while building relationships and strong community. 

Our next study will be “The Gospel of Mark — the Jesus We’re Reaching For” by Lisa Harper. This 7-lesson video study follows Jesus through His early ministry to the cross. Throughout his account, Mark unveils a Jesus of unparalleled power and authority but also a Jesus of humility and love. And while this Jesus invites each of us into a greater story through His teachings, He demands we come as active participants. We must acknowledge Him, seek salvation in Him, and follow Him wherever He leads. In The Gospel of Mark, you’ll discover what it means to be the recipients of Jesus’ overflowing compassion and the very reason for His all-consuming passion. Lisa Harper is a master storyteller and sought-after Bible teacher and author known for her authenticity. Her writing and speaking combines sound scriptural exposition with relatable anecdotes and comedic wit. Come join us on this journey of growing in our faith and growing in our relationships with others.

We were all designed to find fulfillment within our relationships; however, that does not take place without challenges. Why is it that we sometimes feel more connected than other times in our relationships? Perhaps you find it easy and exciting to spend time with your loved ones—or perhaps, especially when things do not go according to plan, you feel incapable of connecting or communicating with them. You then feel distant from those you love most. What if the answer to remaining connected in your relationships has been right under your nose—or, rather, right inside your head all along? Discover the simple switch in your brain that activates—or deactivates—what you most need for relational connectivity: joy. In this class, you will learn how the simple flip of this brain switch either enables you to remain present for those around you or causes you to become overwhelmed—and ultimately inhibited from being your best self when challenges arise. You’ll also learn how to maximize your relational brain, how to recognize when your brain’s joy switch is flipped, and how to take steps to restore your relational connectivity. Whether you are married or wanting to deepen your relationships with others, the Joy-Filled Relationship class seeks to help you love others and remain fully connected with yourself, while being the best version of who God made you to be.

“Honor the Messiah as Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you. However, do this with gentleness and respect.” (1 Peter 3:15-16a) As Christians, the challenges to our faith are fired at many angles by a skeptical world. If we are honest, we can even face these struggles within our own hearts. The questions are hard, and they are many: How do I really know God exists and cares about me? Is the God of the Old Testament the same as the God of New Testament? How can we know for sure that the Bible is God’s actual word and can be trusted? How could all the other religions be wrong, don’t they have some truth also? What do they think about Jesus? Does the Bible and science disagree? Did God create us or did we evolve? What is God doing about all the evil and suffering in the world? These questions are daunting, but don’t be discouraged. Your Christian faith holds the key to these answers. By the end of this class, you will be empowered in your own belief and in your engagement with a skeptical world.

The book of James is one of the most quoted books of the Bible, but also one that is often misunderstood or misinterpreted. A hidden gem, the letter written by a man who had a unique relationship with Jesus is filled with practical wisdom for believers, calling us to live out genuine faith while giving us practical ways to do just that.  In our 10-week study women’s study, we’ll examine the core message of James: the relationship between faith and works. Truly understanding this message, by studying God’s Word for ourselves, dramatically impacts how we live out our faith while also giving us the strength to stand joyfully in the face of adversity.
