Classes & Opportunities

Grow in your faith.

Summer Studies Kick Off June 4

Ladies of Light

The ladies in this group enjoy studying God’s word and his character through various video studies in order to keep their lights burning for others. On Wednesdays at 1:00 p.m. in Room 142, Facilitator Jody Gonzalez will guide you through Jesus Revealed by Matt Rawle.

Jesus’ “I Am” statements (“I am the bread of life” (John 6:48), “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12), and “I am the good shepherd” (John 10:11) tell us much about who he is. Meet him through Jesus Revealed.

By Faith

The ladies in this group focus on overcoming obstacles and being their best selves with God’s help. On Wednesdays at 10:00 a.m., dive into Bad Girls of the Bible with Facilitator Kim Lessley. Like Bathsheba, Herodias, and the rest, today’s modern woman is surrounded by temptations, exhausted by the demands of daily living, and burdened by her own desires. Let’s learn from these “bad girls” how to make better decisions.

VBS Bible Study

In this year’s VBS ROAD TRIP, kids will learn that God is with them wherever they go. Asbury family: Do you know that God is really right there with you, too, no matter what? Our Adult Ministry Team will guide you through the scripture, devotion, and prayer in VBS Bible Study June 11 and 18 from 10:00 a.m. to noon in the Youth Space. We want the same messages our kids will hear to inspire and help you feel empowered – whether or not you decide to volunteer at VBS.

P.S. Do you have – or do you know someone who has – a vintage VW Beetle? Our VBS logo features this iconic car and we’d LOVE to park one in front of Asbury during VBS. Thanks for asking around!

Summer Institute at Asbury is a long-standing tradition where our pastors lead us through a book or topic deep-dive. This July Rev. Mike Holly is at the helm with 4 Things I Wish Christians Knew About the Bible largely based on a book by New Testament scholar, theologian, and Anglican priest Michael F. Bird. Join Mike on Sunday mornings this July during the Sunday School hour at 9:45 a.m. in the Gym. No registration required – no worries if you’re traveling and will miss a week. Each session can stand alone.

Online Course: Apprenticeship

When we talk about apprenticeship, we are talking about becoming students of the rabbi, Jesus of Nazareth. In regards to the class, we will spend four weeks exploring what that looks like. The weeks will be split up to talk about Jesus’ invitation to “follow me,” what it means to be with Jesus, what it looks like to become like Jesus, and finally, doing what Jesus did. I’m excited to focus our attention on Jesus, his life, and his teachings on how to live in and from the kingdom of God, right now.

I took my first step into a lesson series at Asbury last year with Pastor Robert's "The Walk," and I have looked forward to every one since. I love the different perspectives and styles each pastor brings to the table, and Pastor Michael's class, Apprenticeship, is no exception. Do yourself a favor and take the class!
