If you would like to deepen your understanding of Scripture and grow closer to Jesus, Walking with Purpose (WWP) Bible studies combine personal study with small group discussion. Aimed at leading hearts to Christ, WWP is designed specifically for women of all ages who yearn for a sense of community and who want to link our everyday challenges to the solutions given to us through the teachings of Christ.

WWP is active in churches all over the United States. What can a year spent in Scripture with other women at St. John’s do for you?

• 94% say that their prayer life has improved

• 97% say their relationship with Christ is stronger

• 92% said they found meaningful relationships with women in WWP

• 98% would recommend WWP to a friend

The 2026 - 2027 studies are offered on Wednesdays at three different times. WWP will begin with a Connect Coffee on Sept. 23, 2026, and will run through May 7, 2027.

Choose the time that suits your schedule:

• Morning session at 9:30a.m. (childcare available)

• Afternoon Session (advanced study only) at 1p.m.

• Evening Session at 7p.m.

There are two Bible study courses to choose from: (1) our introductory study, Opening Your Heart: The Starting Point (OYH), or (2) WWP’s newest study, Spiritual Motherhood: The Transforming Power of the Feminine Genius. The fee includes the Bible study guide, all operating costs, and supplies for 26 sessions. For more information and details regarding the Bible studies we are offering this year, visit our website at https://wwpstjohn.weebly.com/.

The fee includes the study guide(s) and all operating costs and supplies for all sessions.
