We want to challenge you to live out your faith with us…serve inside AND outside the walls of RockPointe Church. Our mission field is expansive…our homes, our communities, our workplaces, our schools, and every place we stop in between. It’s a big task and God calls us to do it with joy and grace…so now what?? We invite you to be a part of our Women’s Ministry at RPC. We want to encourage you in your faith and through your struggles. We want to equip you to stand firm in your beliefs through our Bible studies and various fellowship groups. We want to walk alongside you as you strive to enrich your relationships with Jesus Christ, your family and friends. And we want to provide opportunities to put feet to your faith as we engage with our community and serve “the least of these.”
Women’s Bible Studies
Please join us at one of our Bible studies. There are several different studies to choose from. We hope you find one that interests you and will work within your schedule. We look forward to growing in our relationship with Christ together.
Armor of God
Tuesdays 6-8pm in Northpointe Training Room
Wednesdays 10a-12pm Room 308
Starts: April 2, 2019
Ends: May 15, 2019
Duration: 7 weeks
Cost:$13
All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you — unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, your resilience, your dreams, your destiny. But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you’re tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this study is for you.
The Enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion. The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer’s inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory.
Childcare available for birth-5th grade available. Advance registration required.

Paul’s Letters: Titus & Philemon
Led by: Kris Murphy
Date/Time: Tuesdays 6-8p
Starts: January 8, 2019
Ends: March 26, 2019
Duration: 11 weeks
Cost: $15
Before the days of viral social media posts and YouTube videos, a different medium for spreading news dominated: letters. While the first Jesus followers tried to figure out their new belief system, the early church leaders used letters to encourage, inform, and direct. These letters were widely circulated and eagerly read…never intended for the elite, always meant for the masses.
We are the masses.
This spring, join us as we study two of Paul’s letters:
TITUS: How do we reconcile our faith with living in Christian community?
PHILEMON: How can faith transform our motives, decisions, and relationships?
Eugene Peterson says, “What we know about God and what we do for God have a way of getting broken apart in our lives.” Paul’s letters will take us on a journey of turning our beliefs into behaviors.
Childcare available for birth-5th grade available. Advance registration required.
Missed a lecture, or just want to hear it again? You can listen to it on RPC Women’s Ministry podbean.
(no need to re-register if you signed up for Fall 2018)

Flourish | Make One Disciple
Are you looking for lasting and meaningful friendships? Would you like to meet with a woman ahead of you in years and wisdom to share her experiences and insights with you? Are you interested in sharing your time and life experiences with a younger woman or student that could benefit from such an investment?
We joyfully invite you to Flourish! Flourish is a discipleship ministry at RockPointe Church that intentionally develops friendships among women from different generations. Women invest in the lives of each other through encouragement, guidance, listening, laughing and loving. The goal is to form lasting relationships that are a source of spiritual and personal support, growth and strength.
Join us as we learn more about Jesus’ commission to make disciples. We encourage you to put aside any notion that you are not qualified to disciple another and discover the simple tools and methods used for successful discipleship. We are all called to a life of discipleship – Jesus equips the called!
All Aboard | All Aboard – Oh the Places We’ll Go!
For women who have suffered the death of a spouse and are seeking new opportunities for growth, service and fellowship.
WELCOME TO HOLLAND
When you’re going to have a baby, it’s like planning a fabulous vacation trip – to Italy. You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The Coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It’s all very exciting. After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, “Welcome to Holland.”
“Holland?!?” you say. “What do you mean Holland?? I signed up for Italy! I’m supposed to be in Italy. All my life I’ve dreamed of going to Italy.” But there’s been a change in the flight plan. They’ve landed in Holland and there you must stay.
The important thing is that they haven’t taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It’s just a different place. So you must go out and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met. It’s just a different place. It’s slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you’ve been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around…. and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills….and Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts.
But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy… and they’re all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say “Yes, that’s where I was supposed to go. That’s what I had planned.” And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away… because the loss of that dream is a very very significant loss.
But… if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn’t get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things … about Holland.

Table 2.4.6.
Table 2.4.6. is a place to gather women and share a simple meal and dive deep with people over real stories and Christ centered conversations. A time for a whole lot of laughter – and maybe a few tears – but time spent that leaves us with glad hearts. Full hearts. Grateful hearts.
We’re inviting you to join in by either serving as a table host or coming to a table gathering as a participant. Tables meet once a month.
New tables are forming now.
The vision is: 2 hours; 4 questions; 6 women (Acts 2:46)
If you are interested in hosting and/or participating in a Table, please email Table246 for details.
