Equipped Studies
Equipped Studies provide a wide range of ministry and discipleship opportunities for our church body each spring and fall. We realize that families are busy during the week with school, work, sports and recreation, social events, and a variety of other commitments. So we have opportunities nearly every night of the week to fit your schedule. Our Equipped Studies have three main goals:
- Community – We want to strengthen our sense of community as a church
- Mission – We want to work to accomplish our Gospel mission in our community and around the world
- Transformation – We want to be transformed by God’s Word through various forms of discipleship
Current Offerings

Led by Pastor Nate BeVier
Wednesdays beginning Jan. 22, 6:30 PM in the Worship Center
Join Pastor Nate each Wednesday night from 6:30-7:30 in the Worship Center for an exciting study through the book of Revelation. From the opening visions of our glorious Victor to the closing plea, “Come, Lord Jesus!”, Revelation has strengthened the Bride throughout the ages with a glimpse of the end of the story and will no-doubt continue to do so as we dive into the text over the next several months.
Veritas Wednesdays

Wednesdays beginning Jan. 22, 6:30 PM in the Loft
As we begin the new year, middle and high school students (Grades 6-12) are invited to gather in the Loft each Wednesday for a relaxed time of singing, conversation, reflection, and encouragement as we enjoy our Veritas hot chocolate-and-coffee house called “The Blend” !
Each Wednesday evening, we will sing and proclaim Gospel truths together and see how these truths speak into the present day. Our students will be learning how to engage others with the Gospel in their everyday conversations.
Transforming Grace
(for women)
Led by Cristie Cerniglia
Tuesdays beginning Jan. 28, 7 PM, 101 Raintree Ct., Nicholasville, 40356.
Too many of us embrace grace for our salvation but then leave it behind in our everyday lives. We base our relationship with God on our performance rather than on His love for us. But our performance can never earn us the love we so desperately crave. Transforming Grace is a fountainhead of inspiration and renewal that will show you just how inexhaustible and generous God’s grace really is.

Conocer A Dios
(para los hombres)
Lideres: Ivan Gomez, Alfredo Uribe, & Xander Hernandez
Reunion: Miercoles comienzo Enero 22, 6 PM, AABC Rm 127
Con el paso de los años, Conocer a Dios de J.I. Packer se ha convertido en un clásico de la fe cristiana. ¿Por qué? Ciertamente, este libro nos habla acerca de Dios: nos da información sobre Él con claridad y gracia. Sin embargo, hace mucho más. Nos ayuda a, de verdad, conocer a Dios al invitarnos a construir una relación con Él y al animarnos a acercarnos a Él en amor y adoración.

Nadie Como El
(para mujeres)
Lideres: Karen Gomez, Denise Gomez, Idelma Uribe, & Alyson Hernandez
Reunion: Miercoles comienzo Enero 22, 6 PM, AABC Rm 128
Dios es autoexistente, autosuficiente, eterno, inmutable, omnipresente, omnisciente, omnipotente, soberano, infinito e incomprensible.
Nosotros no. Y eso es algo bueno.
Fuimos diseñados con limitaciones. Nunca fuimos creados para ser Dios. Pero la raíz de cada pecado es nuestro deseo rebelde de poseer atributos que solo le pertenecen a Dios. Llamándonos a abrazar nuestras limitaciones como medios para glorificar el poder ilimitado de Dios, Jen Wilkin nos invita a celebrar la libertad que resulta de dejar que Dios sea Dios.
