Ministries
As the women of Community Bible Church our desire is to encourage and help one another “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18a). We meet for Bible studies, in the spring and fall, with an evening study on Thursday, from 7 to 9pm, as well as a daytime study, also on Thrusdays, from 10 am to noon. We’ve done studies like Jesus & Women, by Kristi McLelland, Amos: an Invitation to the Good Life, by Jennifer Rothschild, and Better: A Study of Hebrews, by Jen Wilkin.
The Women’s Ministry also organizes events throughout the year to encourage fellowship among the women of CBC Ilderton. Every 3rd Tuesday of the month there is a Women’s Dinner, which is a great opportunity to connect over dinner, encourage and get to know other women from CBC better.
If you have any questions, or would like to join one of the Bible Study or other Women’s Ministry activities throughout the year, please contact the office.

Women's Evening Bible Study
Thursday, October 1 at 7:00 pm
Join us for a 9 week study: Meet Me In the Bible: Colossians and Philemon, by Colleen Searcy.
While confined to house arrest, the apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Colossian church and to the man who hosted the church in his house. Paul’s words brought clarity to confusion, hope where there was fear, and called for unity amid this especially diverse congregation. His letters were not only reminders for them, but also for modern readers in the church today, of the eternal impact of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection.
This is designed to help women feel confident to open and study their bibles on their own. Colleen uses a 5 step framework (inductive bible study) to help women observe and interpret Scripture and apply it to everyday life. Each chapter explores a section of the biblical text, expounding themes including the fruit of the gospel, the heart of the gospel, what to put off and what to put on as a Christian, and the unity that the gospel brings. We hope you’ll join us!
