About Awaken Bible Study

Students, ages 12-18, come join us for a Bible Study!

STARTING MAY 10

This class explores how shame operates as a spiritual and emotional force that creates distance in relationships. From a biblical perspective, shame is the voice of the enemy that quietly whispers lies that tell you, “you are not enough,” “you are unworthy,” or “you are not deserving of love.” These lies lead to isolation, even within the covenant of marriage.

In marriage, shame often disguises itself as anger, defensiveness, control, or silence. One spouse may feel inadequate and respond with criticism; the other may feel rejected and pull away. The unidentified voice of shame can cause spouses to emotionally withdraw from each other to protect themselves rather than pursing connection. Instead of unity, couples experience cycles of blame, misunderstanding, and distance.

The purpose of this class is to help couples cultivate a relationship rooted in the truth of God's word that will build a deeper and unbreakable connection.

This class will encourage spiritual growth and will strengthen your faith. Spiritual growth is rooted in God's Word while seeking to know Jesus and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. If you desire to be a better servant of the will of God, this class is for you!

New Study, beginning March 15, 2026!

Join us for a structured and in-depth series designed to equip you with essential skills for studying the Bible effectively. 

The course is divided into 3 progressive segments. 

"Introduction & Overview" - Provides an overview of the Bible, including its origin, development, historical context, cultural settings, languages, and key people and places. 

"What Every Christian Should Know" - Addresses foundational questions such as the reliability of the biblical text, resolving apparent contradictions, the organization of the biblical books, and the major themes and message of the Bible. 

"The Practical" - Focuses on practical Bible study methods and tools. Participants will learn how to use resources such as commentaries, Bible dictionaries, and lexicons, and will be introduced to various study approaches, including book, chapter, topical, theological, and doctrinal studies. 

This course offers a comprehensive and intellectually engaging approach to Bible study and is designed to be both challenging and rewarding for those seeking deeper understanding of the Word of God.

"Sisters In Ministry" | A Study of Women in Ministry in the Letters of Paul 

Join us for a 6-week series, starting May 17, of teachings that seek to discern sound biblical interpretation of 1 Corinthians 11:2–16, 1 Corinthians 14:34–35 and 1 Timothy 2:9-15! What did Paul mean when he spoke of head coverings, women keeping silent in the church and forbidding sisters from teaching? How do these teachings of Paul reconcile with other statements Paul made concerning women in ministry? 

This class will offer a combination of biblical studies, application of skills and tools learned in CLI School of Ministry’s Hermeneutics class, and hearing of testimonies in growing - from denying to accepting and encouraging women in ministry! Throughout, we will draw on portions of the book “Paul, Women & Wives” by Dr. Craig Keener.

Resource material for this class can be ordered here.

Reach out to Pastor Kevin with any questions.
