Join us this summer as we read and discuss "Adorned: Living out the Beauty of the Gospel Together" by Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth.

The Titus 2 model of older women living out the gospel alongside younger women is vital for us all to thrive. It is mutually strengthening, glorifies God, and makes His truth believable to our world.

We will gather for Book Club each Thursday evening from 7pm to 8pm in the Chapel at Walnut Creek Windsor Heights with a break for Vacation Bible School (July 12 and July 19).

These groups are designed to equip and to help those who are struggling with maintaining sexual purity. Set Free Groups provide a powerful venue for focused accountability, studying, and growth. All group discussions are confidential. We truly want to foster an environment of trust and camaraderie.

This session summer session will be condensed and will be working through the workbook Redeemed Sexuality, by Andrew Boa, as a guide.
Cost is $10/person for workbook (Redeemed Sexuality, by Andrew Boa)
Groups will meet throughout the summer.

Members will meet at a time that works for them with their prayer partner.

In our "Faith Speaks" series, we will study various men and women who have made lasting impacts past their death, some from modern history and some from the Bible like Abel who Hebrews 11:4 says: "...Even though he is dead, he still speaks through his faith."

Epicenter is a summer leadership training program designed to help you expand your idea of who God is and what He is doing in the world. We also hope that through this program you will be stretched to learn how to think and live missionally. Epicenter runs from Tuesday, May 29 through Sunday, July 22.

There is a teaching component on Tuesdays at 7pm and Wednesdays at 8:30pm at the Downtown location. We will not have speakers the week of the 4th of July. This year our theme is "The Attributes of God" and each week we will focus in on a different aspect of God's essential nature.

To help train students to practice missional living we will be running a soccer league, City Light Soccer. There will be an orientation and vision meeting the first Wednesday of Epicenter (May 30) at our Southside location. Practices start the following Wednesday and games will be every Saturday. All practices and games will be on the Southside of Des Moines at Lovejoy Elementary at either 5:30pm or 7pm. We will not have practices the week of the 4th of July but there will be games. To celebrate the season with the families who participate there will be an Award Ceremony on July 22 at our Southside location. No Practice July 4th or Epicenter July 3rd.

We hope you prayerfully consider registering for Epicenter and that God uses it in your life to expand your vie of who God is and what he is doing in the world.

Continuing our Equip Series, Walnut Creek will host 5 free Fatherhood Forums in 2018 on the biblical role of fathers. The class is geared toward men who are interested in growing in their role (or future role) as a father and husband. The forums will include both a discussion and a Q&A component.

Walnut Creek will offer free informational classes regarding the process, placement, and frequently asked questions about foster care in the Des Moines metro. At the end of each class, anyone who is interested will leave with a hard copy or digital link of the paperwork needed to continue with the foster care process.
