Thelma Baptist Church - Groups

Groups Directory

We believe that life-change happens in the context of healthy relationships. When Jesus started His ministry, the very first thing He did was form a group. Groups play a vital role in the life of TBC. They have been designed for you and members of your family to gather with a group of like-minded individuals, to build friendships, develop community, and to deepen your knowledge of the Word of God and your personal faith. We have groups that meet on Sunday mornings, while others enjoy meeting throughout the week in homes and other locations. There are so many opportunities for you to get connected and find the group that's right for you! Below, you will find a list of current groups, a brief description of the group, and even a place register to attend the group. Wherever you're at on your faith journey, don't do life alone!

Do you want to learn to live by faith? Do you desire to have a better understanding of what it looks like to trust God in your daily life or how to actively live out God's plan for your life? This may be the perfect group for you! Join us as we mature spiritually and encourage one another in our faith!

Would you like to make new or renew old relationships as you learn more about how the Church was born? Join us as we explore the Book of Acts and discover how a small number of Jesus' followers, from different nations, speaking many languages, became the church. Discover how they boldly carried the Gospel message throughout their world. We will pray about and discuss what our next steps as the Church should be in view of the growing worldwide hostility toward Christianity.

Welcome! Our group is open to any age or marital status. We love to look into God’s Word to see how it speaks to us while having fun and enjoying each other’s community. Currently, we are currently studying the book of Philippians. We would love to have you join our group!

Do you want to join a group of Jesus-loving people that are eager to form community with one another while navigating marriage, kids, and day to day life? This may be the group for you! We are working through the Bible following “The Story of Redemption” by Daily Grace. Any week is a perfect opportunity for you to join us! Expect to find a group that likes to laugh & have fun while learning about Jesus & His word!

Is there a "me" that you would really like to be but you aren’t quite sure what that looks like or how to get there? We are walking through John Ortberg’s book, “The Me I Want To Be..Becoming God’s Best Version Of You.” You are so much more than you think. Take the discovery journey and join us today!

“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.” C.S. Lewis’s profound wisdom echoes how we as Christians should have a hunger to grow in Christ to be image makers in a world desperate for affirmation. Come join us as we explore current and classic works of highly respected Christian authors and leaders who shed their insights on our purpose of being the Biblical light and truth amidst a culture that has lost its moral compass.

No matter what age, gender, or marital status, if you love to study the Bible, this could be the place for you. This is a discussion-based group where we take a slow, deliberate, and deeper approach to study the scripture, applying an “in the volume of the book it is written of me” approach. We are currently studying the Gospel of John. We use exploratory questions like “Who wrote this and what do we know about him?”; “Where else in scripture do we see this?”; “What is the symbolization and how do we know that?” to increase our understanding of scripture. We prayerfully dig into the text and bring application to our own lives, searching for what Jesus desires in our walk with Him.

This group is multigenerational and offers a wide range of perspectives and testimonies on the Christian life. Members in this Bible Study group will be challenged to delve deeper into the application of Gods Word to live everyday life God's way. The weekly group discussions will be scripture driven and interactive. Personal study guides will be available to present daily opportunities to learn and prepare for weekly discussions. The study guides are written by respected Christian authors both current and classic and will be the source of our weekly study topics.

Welcome! We are a group of young adults growing in our faith and creating a community of believers to share life with. More and more in the craziness of this world we feel the need to slow down and thank God for what He has given us. Join us as we dive into the book of Ecclesiastes to learn more about living in the fullness of Jesus and not living for ‘life under the sun.’ Childcare will be provided through our Kid-Life Ministry.

Are you seeking encouragement in your season of life? Do you desire to have a better understanding of what it looks like to trust God in your daily life or how to actively live out God's plan for your life? Then this is the group for you! Come join other young adults in their 20’s and 30’s as we mature spiritually and encourage one another in our faith. This is an in-depth, discussion-based Bible study where we dig deep. Our desire is that everyone who attends will grow and mature spiritually as we dive into God's word together. Currently we are digging into 2 Peter.

Gather with other men to fight for the things that matter most - relationships. Our desire is not only to get the Word in our heart and know where it may be found, but to become the faithful mighty men, disciples, husbands, and fathers that God desires. We dive deeply into both Old and New Testaments in a slow, typically inductive approach, because scripture is the best interpreter of scripture. Our goal is to conform our minds and lives to the image of Christ by seeking the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, applying His timeless truths, and fighting for unrelenting obedience to His commands.

Ladies, join us as we walk through the book of Matthew together and step into the life of Jesus, our Savior. We will watch as He demonstrates His love, His authority and His ultimate sacrifice in obedience to the Father. All of this - the plan to redeem us and bring us into His kingdom family. Do you know that you are part of His Kingdom? Come be encouraged and strengthened. This is our King!

Do you, your kids or perhaps even your grandkids have questions about christianity? Do you ever feel unsure how to answer them? This fall we will dive into Alex McFarlands's book to give us the tools we need to be able to confidently answer some of those questions. We will read a few chapters each week and then come together on Wednesday night for discussion. This class is open to everyone! We would love to have you there.

Join us for a 6-week journey focused on discovering a deeper understanding of Godly marriage. Based on Gary Thomas' Cherish series, this class will help couples appreciate and honor each other, deepening their relationship with both their spouse and God.
