Profiting from the Word

By / Saturdays at 9:30am, through August 16, 2025

Beginning June 14, join Tenth women for a 10-week summer study using A.W. Pink’s helpful classic, Profiting From the Word

Last summer, Tenth women gathered to consider principles for Bible study using Jen Wilkin’s Women of the Word. This summer, as we continue to seek to grow as students of God’s Word, we will examine ourselves and consider how we can be mindful of and on guard against the spiritually dangerous condition Peter warns of where we can be growing in knowledge yet be spiritually ineffective and unfruitful (1 Peter 1:5-9).

Women of all ages and life stages are warmly invited and encouraged to attend.

This year's theme, "Jesus, the Resurrection," invites us to explore one of the most important and life-changing truths of the Christian faith. Together we will dive into questions like: What does the resurrection mean? Why is it so important to understand? How can we personally experience the resurrection hope that Jesus offers? Through engaging discussions, inspiring talks, and meaningful conversations, we will discover how the resurrection impacts our lives today and gives us lasting hope for the future. 

But that is not all – this retreat is not just about reflection; it is about having fun and building connections! Whether you are seeking spiritual renewal, looking for new friendships, or just need a relaxing weekend by the ocean, this retreat has something for everyone. The retreat is opened to everyone.

The cost is $100 per person (shared room) and $200 per family (one room). This fee includes two nights of hotel accomodations, meals and 3 days of retreat activities. Spots are limited, so register soon to reserve your place!

Parents’ Prayer Ministry

If you are the parent of a teen or adult child who is walking in rebellion against the Lord, you might feel alone—perhaps even hopeless. Finding other believers to pray with you about your child’s situation can be intimidating.

Tenth is starting a group for parents of “prodigal” children. The purpose of the group isn’t to find advice or answers. The purpose is to create a safe space for parents to be known in their sorrow and fear and to pray together for the Lord to have mercy on their children, and to turn them back to himself in repentance.

If you’re interested in being part of this prayer group, confidentially email Executive Minister Tim Geiger here.
