A Season of Love, A Year of Growth: Join Us for Community Bible Class This Fall
At Ward Church, we believe that God’s Word has the power to transform lives—and relationships. This fall, as we enter a church-wide season focused on healthy families and prepare to journey through 1 Corinthians 13 in our 40 Days of Love sermon series, we’re also inviting you to go deeper with us through Community Bible Class (CBC).
This fall, we’re diving into the book of Genesis with a focus on God’s design for healthy families. From creation to covenant, Genesis shows how God works wondrously through imperfect people and complex family dynamics. We’ll see deception, jealousy, betrayal—but also forgiveness, grace, and hope. Together, we’ll explore how God’s redemptive love brings hope, healing, and purpose to our relationships today.
No matter your stage of life or level of Bible study experience, you’ll find wisdom and encouragement for building stronger families and deeper faith.

🌱 Why This Study Matters:
This is more than just another Bible study. The Genesis class is part of a long-term vision to build up biblically grounded leaders, strengthen families, and deepen our discipleship culture. For some, it will be a next step after 40 Days of Love. For others, it may be the most approachable way to reengage or dive deeper into Scripture. Together, these initiatives are not competing—but complementary—each working to help us become a more loving, grounded, and spiritually healthy church family.
❤️ Let’s Grow Together
No matter your life stage or past experience with the Bible, you’ll find wisdom, encouragement, and a place to belong. We hope you’ll join us this fall as we lean into God’s Word, deepen relationships, and strengthen our faith—together.
