Community Bible Study

Gardendale AL

Gardendale AL

Do you find yourself longing for a deeper, more intimate relationship with God? It's through God's Word, the Bible, we come face to face with the God who created us, loves us, and redeems us. The Bible is His love letter and through its pages we discover who God is, and in discovering who God is, we discover who we truly are. Spending time in caring, in-depth study of the Word of God will absolutely change your life. And spending time in community with other ladies who are studying the Word together will challenge and grow your faith exponentially.

Join us this fall as we walk through the Psalms. In the beautiful songs and poetry of the Psalms we learn how to lament, to be honest before God, to find comfort in His presence, to seek His face for counsel and guidance, to rest in His goodness, and ultimately we learn the God of the Word is a God who keeps His Word. Always.

MINISTRIES

Next Gen Ministry

Our Next Gen Children and Youth program is available for babies through high school. Our babies are loved and cared for by our sitters. Our three to five year olds are part of our Sheep Program. In their sheep classes they learn Bible stories, pray together, memorize scripture, and make crafts. Our elementary students have their own age-appropriate Bible study covering the same book the adults are studying. Children's books are colorful and engaging and are powerfully effective in teaching children the importance of studying the Word of God.

Elementary students also have a lesson taught each week by their teacher. Our Middle and High School students will have their own age approporiate books, participate in their own core groups, and join adults for teaching time. At every level, children are given a strong foundation in the truth. 

All of our sitters and children's teachers undergo background checks and are trained extensively to serve in our ministry. 

Young Adult

Interested in joining a Bible study for young adults where relationships are forged in the study of God's Word? Come check out our Co-ed Young Adult Bible Study for ages 18-25 years olds. Our YA Core Group meets on Thursdays from 5 to 6:30 pm at Gardendale's First Baptist Church's South Campus. We'll be studying the Psalms along with the main study with a more discussion based focus. This study will challenge you to take a deep dive into the scriptures and, if you take the time to do the hard work of in depth study, will change the way you engage with the scriptures and transform your relationship with the God of the Word!
