At Twelfth Avenue Baptist Church we believe the Christian life is best lived in community! Just as Sunday morning corporate worship is vital to our spiritual health and growth, we believe it is crucial to interact regularly with a smaller group of believers. Our small groups are dynamic groups that provide a community of accountability and encouragement as well as spiritual growth. 

We provide several opportunities for adults at TABC to connect to a group:

FALL 2026 GROUPS

WOMEN

The Lost World of Genesis One, by Dr John Walton
Tuesdays, 9:30 - 11:00 am, beginning 9/15
Led by Judy Decker
South building 5&6

In this astute mix of cultural critique and biblical studies, John H. Walton presents and defends twenty propositions supporting a literary and theological understanding of Genesis 1 within the context of the ancient Near Eastern world and unpacks its implications for our modern scientific understanding of origins. Please order your own book for this study. Childcare is not available for this study.

Hebrews: Jesus as the Fulfillment of the Old Testament (D Group)

Tuesdays, 8:30 - 10:30 am, beginning 9/15
Led by Kathy Waters
1519 West (Waters home)

The book of Hebrews is one of the most theologically rich books in the New Testament. It was written to show Jewish believers that following Jesus was not a departure from their heritage but the fulfillment of every promise they had ever been given: the ultimate high priest, the better sacrifice, the new and enduring covenant, the superior mediator that Moses, Aaron, and even the angels only foreshadowed. This study by Tara-Leigh Cobble (Bible Recap) traces the argument of Hebrews from start to finish: Christ's superiority over angels, over Moses, over the Levitical priesthood, and over every shadow the law cast forward--culminating in the Hall of Faith in chapter 11 and the call to run with endurance in chapter 12.

Led by Erin Blocker
East Building 205

Do you ever feel overwhelmed as a mom—struggling with anxiety, despair, or comparison? For many women, motherhood feels like simultaneously the greatest responsibility in the world and the most difficult one. Thankfully, we do not walk alone. God is with us in our motherhood—gently strengthening, helping, and restoring us. He is tender and compassionate with us on our hard days of mothering, our very present help in every season. Books are $11 and available for purchase at the first meeting. Childcare is available for this study if requested in advance (see form below).

With: Reimagining the Way You Relate to God by Skye Jethani
Thursdays, 6:00 - 7:30 pm, beginning 9/17 
Led by Pat Forsythe
East building 106

With explores the narrative of the Bible to show that we were created to be with God, and that restoring this connection is his mission. Instead of life over, under, from, or even for God, what leads us into freedom and restoration is life with God. A life lived in rich communion with God cultivates faith, hope, and love in a way that transforms both us and the broken world we inhabit. Please order your own book for this study. Childcare is available for this study if requested in advance (see form below).

Deeper: Real Change for Real Sinners by Dane Ortlund

Thursdays, 7:00 - 8:00 am, beginning 9/10
Led by Scott Waters
East Building 205

“Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” ―2 Peter 3:18

How do Christians grow? Few question the call of the Bible to grow in godliness, but the answer to exactly how this happens is often elusive. In this book, Dane Ortlund points believers to Christ, making the case that sanctification does not happen by doing more or becoming better, but by going deeper into the wondrous gospel truths that washed over them when they were first united to him. Drawing on wisdom from figures throughout church history, Ortlund encourages readers to fix their gaze on Jesus in the battle against sin, casting themselves upon his grace and living out their invincible identity in Christ.
