Career Women in Faith

Shakopee

Saturday at 3:00 PM

Do you live in the world of family and career, yet you are full of faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior? Do you want to connect with other women who are led by the Spirit, in both personal and professional contexts (even when your career is in the secular industry)? Does work-life balance not quite hit the mark and you are looking for women who can pray and encourage each other in the work-life flow? Then this group is for you! We aim to meet twice a month, likely on a late Saturday afternoon. This group is co-led by medical physician Nana Wilmot-DeSouza and biochemist entrepreneur Illeme Amegatcher.

Promise Principle

The Promise Principle I Brent Sherman & Greg Youmans

Apple Valley

Monday at 6:30 AM

You are welcome here! This is a "join at anytime" men's group. If you are looking for a deeper connection with God, this group is for you. God desires that we overcome being ruled by our thoughts and feelings, which are highly influenced by our circumstances — family, work, health, or temptation. 2 Peter 1:3–4 tells us that we can actually do this! It comes from learning to respond to God's promises in His Word and through prayer. This is the purpose of The Promise Principle Men's Lifegroups. Whether you’re still exploring faith in Christ, or you have been a Christian for many years, you’ll experience what we believe Jesus meant when He called His disciples to change the world by discovering and responding to His promises, truths, and commands.

Bible Study before Church

Shakopee

Sunday at 8:00 AM

Excited to dig into the Word and fellowship before church from 8a-8:50a every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month. Anyone is welcome. We will be meeting at the Caribou right next to the Shakopee campus. My goal is for us to understand the Word and God more. I am open to how we want to format the Bible study. We can start by diving into different stories from the Bible and asking questions to understand what it is trying to teach us about God, about man, and how we can apply the lessons we learn in our day to day lives. See you there!

Revelations Bible Study with Jen Wilkins | Maria Johnson

Apple Valley

Thursday at 6:30 PM

Perhaps no other book of the Bible feels as inaccessible and as intimidating to us as the very last one. The book of Revelation overflows with images and ideas that confound our modern ears. But if all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable, we should assume Revelation is as accessible and helpful as any other book of the Bible. Why don’t we see it that way? Two thousand years ago, John’s Revelation was circulated and read aloud among seven churches in Asia Minor. Those who heard the letter understood it and drew encouragement from its message. The same can be true for you today. Let's meet for 10 sessions of verse-by-verse Bible study as Jen Wilkin helps us discover how the last book of the Bible—the culmination of God's great story—speaks both a steadying word of assurance and a strong call to endure to the church in every age. Over half our time will be discussing our study together and other half will be watching Jen Wilkin video for our next discussion & study. We will meet every other week to allow more time to complete your study week's work.
