On the first day of each month (apart from Decem­ber and Jan­u­ary), the cor­re­spond­ing session’s study guide pages will be avail­able for free to down­load from our web­site (i.e., Ses­sion 1 will be avail­able on Sep­tem­ber 1, Ses­sion 2 on Octo­ber 1, and so on). 

If you’d like some­thing to help keep the study guide pages orga­nized and are join­ing us in-per­son at a Devot­ed Group, we are offer­ing a study pack for pur­chase. This pack will include a fold­er con­tain­ing print­ed pages explain­ing how the study works and September’s study ques­tions. Begin­ning August 22, you can pur­chase a study pack before or after ser­vices in the Hill­side or Hills­boro Book­stores, or at the McMin­nville cam­pus Info Table. If you’d rather not pur­chase a study pack, the Sep­tem­ber dis­cus­sion ques­tions will be avail­able to down­load from our web­site start­ing Sep­tem­ber 1. 

Par­tic­i­pat­ing online? We’d love for you to be part of this study! Each session’s pages will be post­ed to our web­site as a free PDF down­load. You’re wel­come to print it at home, at your local library or print shop, or sim­ply keep it on your phone or tablet and go ful­ly dig­i­tal — what­ev­er works best for you! We are excit­ed for you to fol­low along with us at Devot­ed Live!

While we love your excite­ment about invit­ing a friend, we ask that every­one sign up online. Many women are on our wait­list, and we’d hate for a group to reach capac­i­ty in a way that isn’t fair to those who’ve been waiting.

We wel­come nurs­ing new­borns under 6 months. As they grow and become more wig­gly, we ask that your baby stay home. This gives you, as the mom, a break, and keeps the baby from dis­tract­ing the group from its pur­pose. We want all women, includ­ing new moms, to have the chance to study God’s Word and pray togeth­er — and we want to respect all the women in the group by keep­ing the main thing the main thing.

Appli­ca­tions to facil­i­tate or host are cur­rent­ly closed. How­ev­er, because groups will meet through­out the year, we are still open to hear­ing from women who are inter­est­ed in serv­ing in this way. If you would like to be con­sid­ered as a poten­tial facil­i­ta­tor or host, please fill out the Inter­est Form. Sub­mit­ting this form does not guar­an­tee place­ment or start the appli­ca­tion process, but it allows our team to review your infor­ma­tion as we con­tin­ue to prayer­ful­ly build groups and pair­ings for the upcom­ing sea­son. If it seems like there may be a poten­tial new group­ing, some­one from our team may reach out with next steps, includ­ing a for­mal appli­ca­tion and screen­ing process. In the mean­time, we encour­age you to be pray­ing about this opportunity!

As a Devot­ed Group facil­i­ta­tor, we believe God will use you for His pur­pos­es. To serve God in this capac­i­ty is both a priv­i­lege and a bless­ing, and it requires your time, ener­gy, and devo­tion to God and this ministry.

Being a facil­i­ta­tor means that you will sup­port a group of women dur­ing a Bible study by encour­ag­ing dis­cus­sion with­in the group as study ques­tions are reviewed. You will also spend time in prayer through­out the month and send month­ly mes­sages to com­mu­ni­cate about the upcom­ing meet­ing. Each facil­i­ta­tor will be expect­ed to report to their Devot­ed Group Facil­i­ta­tor Lead with any ques­tions or con­cerns through­out the study. We encour­age you to pray about this oppor­tu­ni­ty (with your hus­band, if applicable).

Please fill out the Inter­est Form to let us know that you’re inter­est­ed in facil­i­tat­ing and/​or host­ing a Devot­ed Group. Sub­mit­ting this form does not guar­an­tee place­ment or start the appli­ca­tion process, but it allows our team to review your infor­ma­tion as we con­tin­ue to prayer­ful­ly build groups and pair­ings for the upcom­ing sea­son. If you have any ques­tions, please email devotedgroups@​atheycreek.​com
