We all long for a better understanding of God's Word, a more meaningful experience of fellowship, and the companionship of like-minded believers. The good news for us is that the Lord has provided us with great tools to draw nearer to Him and to better understand His word and His will.


For most Christians, the church becomes most real in a small group setting. Principles and ideas are best absorbed through discussion with a few friends. Our joys and concerns are most easily spoken and most fervently prayed for with a few familiar faces. People are more genuine, discussions are more thoughtful, care and compassion become evident.


God has designed us to share our faith and our journeys with a small group of friends. We want you to have that experience! Neelsville offers a wide range of small groups and classes, and we encourage you to connect! These include weekly or bi-weekly small groups, Bible studies, and classes. Some are for men, some for women, some for youth, some for couples, some for anyone at all. Some meet online while others meet in person.  Most of these groups have 5-15 members, and include time to share and catch up, time to pray together, and a study our lesson together.


We invite you to join any of the classes, Bible studies and small groups listed below! Contact office@neelsville.org for more information.

NEW!! The Imperfect Disciple

Sunday Mornings 9:30 – 10:30am | 2/22 – 3/29 | Room 1

Leader: Jeff Rickett | Contact: pastorjeff@neelsville.org

Too many discipleship books are written for clean, perfect people who know all the right Sunday school answers. The Imperfect Disciple by Jared Wilson is for the rest of us--people who screw up, people who are weary, people who are wondering if it's safe to say what they're really thinking. For the believer who is tired of quasi-spiritual lifehacks being passed off as true, down-and-dirty discipleship, here is a discipleship class from an author who isn't afraid to be honest about the mess we call real life and how to grow in Christ as His disciple. You can purchase the book at Amazon for around $9.

 

NEW!! Hosea Bible Study

Sunday Mornings 9:30 – 10:30am | 2/22 – 3/29 | Library & Online

Leader: Bill Kroah & Eric Shirley

Meeting Link: Provided in the weekly e-letter

The six-week study of Hosea will examine highlights of this prophetic book. Hosea was the last prophet to the North (Israel) before the final conquest by the Assyrians. The prophet's approach is unique, but the message echoes that of the other prophets of the time - Isaiah, Amos, and Micah. 


Ezekiel Bible Study

Sunday Evenings 7:00 – 8:00pm | 1/11 – TBD | Online  

Leader: Craig Wilson & others

Meeting Link: Provided in weekly e-letter

Ezekiel is a study of God’s people Israel, misusing the temple and displacing God for other things. It is a story of judgment and glorious hope that awaits God’s people. Join us to discuss this study from the Bible Project at https://bibleproject.com/classroom/ezekiel.

NEW!! MEN’S AND WOMEN’S ONLINE LENTEN STUDIES – JESUS’ FINAL WEEK

We are excited to have two online studies - one for men and one for women - during Lent on Wednesday evenings. Once every year, the church calendar calls us to walk through the events of the final week of Jesus’ life. We celebrate Palm Sunday with exuberance. We weep through Good Friday. We eagerly await Easter Sunday. Many of the events of this final week will be familiar to you. But you will find it helpful to gain a perspective from each of the four Gospel writers, learning what God was doing in that week that changed our world. Join us as we gain insight and wisdom from following the path to the cross—the path that Jesus, King of all kings and Suffering Servant, walked for us.
