Cambridge Women’s Equip Class: Isaiah

October 2, 2025 to November 13, 2025 | 9:30 AM-11:30 AM OR 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Join us as women from Forward Church as we seek to grow in our understanding, and ability to study the word of God. This Fall we will dive into a study through the book of Isaiah called: Isaiah, Striving Less and Trusting God More, by author Melissa Spoelstra. As you study the chapters Isaiah wrote—from his challenging words to the nation of Israel to his prophecies of the Messiah to come—learn to rest in God's promises and grow in trust. In this 7-session study, Isaiah’s words will reveal that you can trust God more than your own human effort or the counterfeits the world suggests. You won’t be striving harder, but instead trusting more deeply the Faithful One who is so worthy of our utter dependence. In Him you'll find the comfort and peace you need to sustain you. This equip class will feature, homework, group discussions, teaching and connecting with other women.

Young Adult Equip Class – Practicing the Way: Serving

November 10, 2025 to December 1, 2025 | 7:00 PM-8:30 PM

Join us for a 4-week Young Adult equip class. When you think of "heaven coming to earth", does it sound abstract and unreachable? What if we started with what is right in front of us? When you think of the ordinary people and everyday environments around you, what is a simple, humble way to carry someone's burden? The practice of service is partly about recognizing that even the simplest acts - in the words of Jesus, giving "even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones" - are a sign of heaven on earth. We are diving into another Practicing the Way Course created by John Mark Comer on Service. In this Equip class, you will be given practical ways to learn how to cultivate a spiritual discipline of serving others.
