If you’ve ever wondered how to love the Bible without having to take it literally in every detail—or dismiss it entirely—this study offers a hopeful and thoughtful way forward. You’re invited to join us for an eight-week women’s Bible study based on Inspired by Rachel Held Evans. Beginning March 4 at 7:00 pm, this study will be facilitated by Amy Smith and Alyssa Bernardo and will include breaks for Spring Break.

In Inspired, New York Times bestselling author Rachel Held Evans asks an important question: If the Bible isn’t a science book, instruction manual, or position paper, then what is it? With honesty, curiosity, and deep respect for Scripture, Evans invites readers to rediscover the Bible as a rich and living story. Drawing on scholarship and literary insight, she revisits familiar passages, explores their historical context, and connects ancient stories to the complexities of our present-day lives.

Evans models a way of engaging Scripture that avoids rigid literalism on one side and vague detachment on the other. Instead, she invites us into a faith that honors both intellect and imagination—one that makes room for questions, wrestling, and wonder.

Whether you are newly exploring the Bible or seeking to reconnect with it in a deeper way, this study offers space for thoughtful conversation, shared learning, and spiritual growth. Come ready to rediscover Scripture with fresh eyes—and perhaps fall in love with it all over again.

If you move in the world as a woman, you are invited to this group.
