WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY
The Wednesday Morning Women’s Bible Study began September 10 with a study on the Gospel of Mark. Women of all ages are invited to gather each Wednesday from 9:15–11:00am in the SCPC Library for fellowship, prayer, and time in God’s Word. Together we’ll encourage one another, grow deeper in faith, and discover how Scripture speaks into our daily lives. Whether you’re brand new to Bible study or have been part of one for years, you’ll find a warm welcome and a place to belong.
Every Wednesday
IT’S COMPLICATED
Join us for IC (It’s Complicated), a gathering for young adults every 1st, 3rd, and 5th Monday evening in the Student Center. This is a space created for recent high school grads, college students, and young adults to connect, grow in faith, and share life together. Because let’s be honest—this season can feel complicated, but you don’t have to walk it alone!
Every 1st, 3rd, and 5th Monday
