Hope of Glory Spring Study Kickoff
Jan 08, 2026 • 9:30am - 11:30am
There are people who criticize the Bible as just a book written by old, bearded men with little or no mention of the role of women in God's master plan for mankind. This winter/spring study of The Power of Women debunks that idea. Women were and are critical in bringing about the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. This gives each woman today a green light to move into our calling to be mighty workers, warriors and women for God's will on our lives. Join us January 8 as we begin this new study.
