Read the week's passage
Each participant reads the assigned chapters slowly, twice — once for narrative, once for observation. No study Bible required.
A Women's Bible Study
Women of the Word is a study group for women who want more than a devotional — who are ready to sit with hard passages, ask honest questions, and let Scripture form them at depth.
Why this study exists
For too long, women's Bible study has been handed a shorter ladder — more feelings, fewer footnotes. Women of the Word is built on a different conviction: that women are capable of rigorous exegesis, that the original languages reward attention, and that theology is not an accessory to faith but its backbone.
We move slowly through one book at a time. We ask what the text meant before we ask what it means to us. And we do it together — which turns out to make it warmer, not colder.
How it works
Each study runs for eight weeks, focused on a single book of Scripture. Groups meet weekly for ninety minutes — sixty in the text, thirty around the table.
Each participant reads the assigned chapters slowly, twice — once for narrative, once for observation. No study Bible required.
The group works through prepared questions touching context, grammar, theology, and application — in that order, always.
Each session closes with a single verse to memorize and a question to sit with until next time.
The foundation
Colossians 3:16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom.
Current study — Autumn 2026
Paul's most systematic letter is also his most personal. We'll read it in four movements — the human condition, justification by faith, life in the Spirit, and the mystery of Israel — pausing long enough at each to feel its weight.
No prior theology training needed. Curiosity and a Bible are the only prerequisites.

Groups are small by design — eight to twelve women. Tell us your time zone and we'll match you with a group that's just beginning its next book.
