Habakkuk: Trusting God When Life Doesn’t Make Sense (Led by Christy Bishop)

Habakkuk teaches us how to trust God when we don’t understand what He is doing. Through honest questions, God’s surprising answers, and a powerful declaration of faith, this prophetic book shows believers how to remain steadfast in difficult times.  Join us as we discover how Habakkuk’s journey from confusion to confident worship can strengthen our faith today. All you need for this study, which will run 7-8 weeks, is a Bible and a notebook.

Live Free: A Study of Galatians by Elizabeth Woodson (Led by Lynn Maiden)

How do we have freedom in Christ? Many believers struggle trying to do everything the Christian way. We get so focused on checking off the boxes of being a “good” Christian that we lose our focus on the Savior. The Savior offers abundant life and true freedom. If this is something you long for, come with us as we study the book of Galatians in learning how to Live Free in this 8-week study. CLICK HERE TO LINK TO THIS BOOK AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE FROM AMAZON.

Studies will begin THURSDAY, AUGUST 27th

Philippians: Joy in Every Circumstance (Led by Lolly Wilson)

Do you long to have a deeper understanding of the Bible and a more meaningful Christian life? Do you want to feast on God’s Word and not settle for crumbs from others? Join us for an inductive Bible study on the encouraging epistle of Philippians. The most effective way to grow in your faith is to study the Word of God for yourself. This study uses a workbook written by Lolly and Bobby Wilson, which includes 5 days of directed independent study each week. The workbook leads you through observation, interpretation, and application of the marvelous book of Philippians. We will meet for 10 weeks for discussion based on our personal study. The workbook will be available for purchase for $10.

Esther: Daring Faith for Such a Time as This, by Kelly Minter (Led by Beth Cash and Catherine Dellinger)

At all times and in every circumstance, our God is faithful. Please join us as we study the book of Esther. Together, we will explore Esther’s courage, faith and God’s providence in challenging times. Come grow in understanding, fellowship and encouragement as we discover valuable lessons from this inspiring Biblical account throughout this 7-week study. CLICK HERE TO LINK TO THIS BOOK AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE FROM AMAZON.

DAVID: Shepherd to King (Cindy Saucer and Michelle Wurst)

Join us as we study the early life of King David, one of the most famous and complicated characters in history. He went from being a lowly shepherd to a warrior, from a fugitive to the chosen king of Israel, anointed by God. We will focus on portions of 1 & 2 Samuel and Psalms to see David’s legendary strengths along with his many weaknesses and learn about the people who influenced his life. In doing so, we will seek to understand why God called David a man after His own heart. All you need for this 10-week study is a Bible; any other materials will be provided.

Are you looking for a way to minister to others in our community?

If so, we would love for you to be a part of the Mending Hearts ministry. On the third Tuesday of the month, from August to May, we meet from 9 am-11 am to make pillows for patients who have had open heart surgery at several area hospitals. This is a wonderful opportunity to fellowship with other ladies while serving those in our city.

Sewing is not a requirement! We need help cutting fabric, stuffing pillows and tagging them. If you do sew, we would appreciate you bringing your machine to help with the sewing. Supplies are provided so come as you are.

Making an Impact…

“I just wanted to thank you for the red heart. Not only did it help with moving and coughing, etc, it was a blessing. To know you had made it special for people like me going through heart surgery. I truly felt surrounded by God’s love.”

In Christ, Clarice

“After undergoing heart surgery at St Vincent’s, I was the recipient of one of your heart pillows. It has meant so much to me and I have relied on it many, many times. Your work is greatly appreciated! I hope I may someday repay you for your efforts.”

Love in Christ, Randy

“My husband David, had triple bypass surgery St Vincents. While we were in the hospital, David was given one of y’alls heart pillows, made with love! We were so thankful to be surrounded with God’s love, with great doctors, nurses and every service at the hospital. The Heart Pillow was a precious gift which we talk with everyone about.”

God Bless You All, David and Teresa

Mentoring relationships provide unique opportunities where women can learn from other women and their life experiences. You may find yourself longing for someone to help you grow in spiritual maturity, to help you study the Bible at a deeper level or help develop your prayer life. You may find yourself in a difficult season experiencing loneliness, grief and loss, wrestling with a difficult life decision, walking through infertility/miscarriage, or difficult relationships. Being paired with a mentor can help provide the Godly wisdom and encouragement you need. 

If you have experienced any of these situations and seen how the Lord carried you through and deepened your faith in the storm, the Lord may be calling you to be a mentor. 

Moms INC (Moms In Need of Community) is for moms with children of all ages and stages of life.

Our theme this year is “Rooted & Flourish” and we look forward to being rooted together and flourishing in faithful community with each other! We strive to provide a Christ-centered time of fellowship and a place to share the joys and challenges of motherhood. As we build this community, let’s take our burdens, worries and victories to the Lord and receive His peace together as a community of moms who love the Lord and pray together.

Our first meeting will be Tuesday, September 8th, 9:30 - 11:30 am. Following that meeting we will meet the first Tuesday of each month, 9:30-11:30 AM through May in the Cafe at Double Oak Community Church. You don’t need to attend DOCC to join — every mama is welcome!

“Then I heard the voice of the Lord asking: Who will I send? Who will go for us? I said: Here I am. Send me.” Isaiah 6:8

Our journey with Christ is not defined by the outcomes we achieve, but by the transformation we undergo. Our mission is to empower women to grow in faith, character, and purpose, embracing WHO we are becoming in Christ. Through discipleship, fellowship, and service, we cultivate a community where every woman can discover her God-given potential and live out her calling with grace and strength. The goal is becoming more like Jesus so we can teach others to also become more like Jesus. We go sit with the sinners, eat with the tax collectors, heal the sick, feed the hungry, care for the widows and orphans, simply because that’s what Jesus did. When we carry our cross daily, our perspective changes, and we begin to see the world as He sees it. How will you answer the Lord’s call?

There are other ways to serve. If you would like to donate tangible items to support ongoing efforts, stay tuned. Needed items will be updated soon.

Join our WHO Prayer Team
Prayer is the most powerful tool we have to support the agencies doing the hard work day in and day out, and bring miraculous healing and restoration to the lives so deeply impacted by this world. As we continue to build relationships with agencies, their staff, and the women + families they serve, we have the privilege of praying with and for some very specific requests.
