Discipleship at Reach
We are moving forward as a church! Our methods are changing, but the mission of evangelism and discipleship remains the same. There is a place of service and growth for all who attend onsite or online. There is no better time for members or guests to be immersed in God’s Word.
Adult Discipleship
Habits of the Household
Led by Jonathan and Joy Oufnac
Saturdays at 6:00 pm | In De Soto
Meeting March 15, April 5, April 26, May 3, May 17, June 14
Discover simple habits and easy-to-implement daily rhythms that will help you find meaning beyond the chaos of family life as you create a home where kids and parents alike practice how to love God and each other.
You long for tender moments with your children–but do you ever find yourself too busy to stop, make eye contact, and say something you really mean? Daily habits are powerful ways to shape the heart–but do you find yourself giving in to screen time just to get through the day? You want to parent with purpose–but do you know how to start?
In Habits of the Household, you will learn the tools you need to create structure–from mealtimes to bedtimes–that free you to parent toddlers, kids, and teens with purpose. Learn how to:
- Develop a bedtime liturgy to settle your little ones and ground them in God’s love
- Discover a new framework for discipline as discipleship
- Acquire simple practices for more regular and meaningful family mealtimes
- Open your eyes to the spirituality of parenting, seeing small moments as big opportunities for spiritual formation
- Develop a custom age chart for your family to more intentionally plan your shared years under the same roof
Each chapter in Habits of the Household ends with practical patterns, prayers, or liturgies that your family can put into practice right away. As you create liberating rhythms around your everyday routines, you will find your family has a greater sense of peace and purpose as your home becomes a place where, above all, you learn how to love.
Children are welcome to attend.
Praying the Bible
Led by Josh and Alicia Champlain
Sundays at 5:30 pm | At Reach Church
Meeting March 9, March 23, March 30, April 13, April 27 & May 4
All Christians know they should pray, but sometimes it’s hard to know how—especially if the minutes start to drag and our minds start to wander. Offering readers hope, encouragement, and the practical advice they’re looking for, this concise book by professor Donald Whitney outlines a simple, time-tested method that can help transform our prayer lives: praying the words of the Bible. Praying the Bible shows readers how to pray through portions of Scripture one line at a time, helping us stay focused by allowing God’s Word itself to direct our thoughts and words. Simple yet profound, this resource will prove invaluable to all Christians as they seek to commune with their heavenly Father in prayer each and every day.

Women’s Spring Bible Studies
Gospel Mom
Led by Joy Oufnac
Fridays at 10:00 am | In De Soto
Meeting March 7, April 4, May 2 & May 23
If there’s one thing moms love, it’s a formula. Give us the three-step process, the instruction manual, the straightforward solution for how to mother with excellence and we’ll give it our best shot. But, we all know motherhood isn’t that simple. Each decision seems to present a thousand overwhelming options, or our circumstances suddenly change and we can’t keep up with “the plan,” or we see another mom making different choices and begin to doubt our own. All of this leaves us questioning our decision-making in motherhood. So how can we find a secure identity in motherhood and know we’re “good” before the throne of God? By understanding the gospel story and how all of scripture applies to our lives. We need more than just to know what to do. We need to know who to be. Join us as we explore what it truly means to be a gospel mom, a woman who is renewed by Christ’s righteousness, knows her mission and purpose, and lives free from guilt and unhealthy comparison.
Take it Personally
Led by Christy James
Thursdays at 6:30 pm, starting March 6 | In De Soto
When Jesus gave the Great Commission—to go to the world with the gospel—He didn’t give it as a theoretical possibility for anyone who might be interested. He gave it as a direct command—a personal commission to those He would leave to carry the gospel message as He ascended to Heaven. This Great Commission is not only God’s plan to reach the world, but it is His command to every Christian to personally share the gospel with the lost.
Most Christians desire to share their faith, but many wonder how. How do you initiate a gospel conversation? How do you share the gospel itself? How do you lead someone to a decision to trust Christ? And how do you explain baptism to a new Christian or lead them toward spiritual maturity?
In this practical manual, learn how to share the gospel, how to follow up on new Christians, how to cultivate relationships with people not yet saved, and how to involve young Christians in growth and gospel witness.
Take It Personally will encourage and equip you to own the Great Commission as your personal responsibility and to obey it as you share the life-changing message of the gospel.
