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:

Wednesdays, 12:00 - 1:00 pm, June 17 - July 8
Led by Melissa Turney
Cost is $10
Childcare is not available for this study
How do we praise the Lord even when life is hard? What does it mean to trust God when life doesn't go as planned? This study on the book of Habakkuk seeks to answer these questions. This study will show you how to pray when you don’t have the word or the will to pray, encourage you to trust God’s character when life doesn’t make sense, and help you rest in God when the anxieties of life threaten to steal your joy.
Bible Recap
The Bible Recap (TBR) follows a chronological Bible reading plan and is a short daily recap by creator and host, Tara-Leigh Cobble. She’ll highlight and summarize that day’s Bible reading in a casual, easy to understand way. The Bible Recap comes in several forms—book, podcast, or video. Each day’s Bible reading is approximately 12 minutes long and each recap is about 8 minutes long. You can read more at thebiblerecap.com.
This group began meeting in January but others are welcome to join at any time. Please contact Emily Prouse at emprouse@gmail.com for more information.
Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man’s Soul by John Eldredge
Wednesdays, 6:30 - 8:00 pm, June 3 - August 12 (We will take the week of VBS off)
West Building
Cost is $13
Childcare is available if requested in advance
God designed men to seek out adventure. But, somewhere between childhood and the struggles of yesterday, most men lose sight of those dreams. Eldredge unpacks man's search for validation, the need for the development of courage in his soul, and the call to live a life of adventure. This book reminds men that although their childhood passions, dreams, and desires may start getting buried under deadlines, pressures, and disappointments, it doesn't have to be this way.
In fact, God made men to embrace a life of courage, adventure, and freedom. He created men to take risks and find true purpose and belonging. Wild at Heart invites men to experience wholeheartedness by recovering their true masculine heart, healing the wounds and trauma in their stories, delighting in the wildness they were created to offer the world, discovering the life-giving power of nature and helping them to discover the truth about what makes them come alive.
