Women's Bible Study
Monday evenings from 6:30-8:30pm in the Shepard Class. This study group is intended for women who are facing those transitions that come when the children are almost out of the house and grown, when building your career transforms into making your career meaningful and contributing to the greater good, when facing an empty next, when seeking to find meaning in your faith journey...and so much more. Come join Central women and their friends in their journey to be stronger, better, more faithful disciples of Jesus Christ. Come join us and bring a friend!
