Creating opportunities for women to have community with each other and communion with God. We create events and offerings that allow women to encourage each other, experience Jesus, and draw closer to his heart.

Women’s Bible Study Wednesday mornings 9:15-10:45am, in the Fellowship Hall, September 20-May 15
Come in person and sit at discussion tables OR join through Zoom! This year, we will take a deep dive into Israel’s first kings, Saul, David, and Solomon, studying 1 & 2 Samuel and parts of 1 & 2 Chronicles, 1 Kings, Psalms, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes. Want to understand the Old Testament better? Curious how these Scriptures point to & expect Christ? Join us for a historical, theological, & practical study! Childcare available. Contact Cynthia with any questions. To revisit previous studies, check out our podcast recordings at https://ljpres.org/women/bible-study

Prayer Pods:
Interesting in joining a monthly Prayer Pod with other women who are also seeking to follow Christ with their lives? Prayer Pods meet together monthly to share life, encourage each other, & pray together. New groups are being formed! Reach out to Cynthia if you would like to be part of one or would be interested in hosting one.
Get ready for our Women’s 1-Day Conference:
Sign up for our 2023 Women’s 1 Day Conference on November 4, “Citizens of Heaven!” Jesus says that we are either a citizen of this world, with our values and beliefs influenced by our culture, or we are a citizen of heaven, with our values and beliefs guided by God’s word. This year, we are going to explore how our citizenship in heaven changes our identity, our actions, and our inheritance. Enjoy workouts, worship, and Biblical teaching. Come learn and grow with us! This year, we’re thrilled to also invite Girls, 5th grade and above! Sign up here: https://www.ljpres.events/womens1day

We’re taking over the entire glamping resort of Huttopia in the mountains east of LA. Picture queen sized beds, down comforters, real bathrooms, a gorgeous pool, and fantastic food.

Community Bible Study (CBS)
Thursdays 10-12, in-person or online, evening online also available.
Come see what happens in people’s lives when they discover God through the study of His Word, the Bible. Our classes meet weekly during the school year. Each class participant receives a course book with a commentary and home study questions. Each week, you’ll participate in small-group discussions and large-group teaching. From time to time, fellowship meals will provide special times of sharing and relationship-building within the class.
We are studying “From the Red Sea to the Jordan River” looking at the Israelite’s journey in the wilderness. We are back in person this fall with class time returning to 10am-noon. We will also continue to offer morning and evening online core groups for those that prefer the online format. Register at https://lajolla.cbsclass.org/ or contact Jennifer at cbsJenniferS@gmail.com for more information.
