Midweek Courses

Spring 2026 Courses

The Acts of the Apostles

Begins April 8 | 6:00 p.m. | Parker Hall (Sanctuary Building, Level 1)

The Book of Acts is the Bible's account of how the church was born and grew following the ascension of Jesus into heaven. Acts gives us the story of how the Holy Spirit fell on the apostles at Pentecost and gave them the ability to do things they never could have done otherwise. This Bible study will explore the Book of Acts and help us to understand the work of the Holy Spirit in our own lives and in the church today.

Ready to Respond: Defending the Faith with Grace and Truth

Begins April 8 | 6:00 p.m. | MSLC 231 (Sanctuary Building, Level 2)

Those who seek to reach people who are skeptical of or opposed to the Christian faith will need to be ready to respond to objections with clear and reasoned answers. This course will equip you to address current common objections to the Christian faith with confidence by exploring biblical, theological, and philosophical arguments.

First John

Begins April 8 | 6:00 p.m. | MSLC 232 (Sanctuary Building, Level 2)

Join Pastor Matthew in an in-depth study through the letter of First John. In this course, we’ll walk through how one navigates this life—a life beset with obstacles—toward a life filled with the perfect love of God.

The Marriage Course

Begins April 8 | 6:00 p.m. | Location TBA

Join us for The Marriage Course, a course that helps couples strengthen their relationships through practical tools and discussions on topics we all encounter in marriage. This course is a little different than others in that it's designed as a date night that includes dinner, a video, and private discussion time for couples. The cost is $45 per person, which covers food and workbooks.

GriefShare

Begins April 8 | 6:00 p.m. | Handbell Room (Sanctuary Building, Level 1)

A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.

Grades 6-12

First Youth
Youth Midweek is focused on equipping students to become Alive in the Spirit. We do this through community worship, meaningful small group discussions, and time for fun and fellowship.  This time is meant to equip and launch students to be a light in the world as they live out their faith beyond the church walls. For more information on Youth Midweek, contact the Youth Department. Youth Midweek does not require registration.

Kingswood Courses

The name Kingswood Courses is inspired by the Kingswood School that was founded by John Wesley outside of the city of Bristol in the early 1740s. The purpose of the original Kingswood School was to train the children of the poor in the area and to equip them with everything they needed to serve God in their lives.
Our Midweek offerings have long served the purpose of training of men and women to pursue the work of the Kingdom with everything they have. You’ll see certain courses marked as Kingswood Courses. This simply means that these courses are focused on helping you be grounded in the Word of God, alive in the Spirit, and sent out on mission. We’ll continue to offer other great selections like Beth Moore studies, GriefShare, and Financial Peace University.
