Bible studies and Small Groups offer a wonderful opportunity to deepen your faith while building meaningful connections within our Journey of Hope family. These gatherings are designed to encourage spiritual growth, provide support, and foster a sense of belonging. Whether you're looking to explore scripture, share life experiences, or simply connect with others in a welcoming environment, there's a place for you here. Below is a list of our ongoing opportunities — you are welcome to join at any time!

  • Classes for all ages are available on Sunday mornings following worship.

  • Join us on Monday mornings at 7:30am as we walk, read and discuss scripture. October - April we meet at the Elgin campus and May-September we meet at the Parsonage and walk the nearby trails. If rain, meet at church.

  • Join us Wednesday morning @ 6am at the Panera Bread in South Elgin. Grab a bagel, cup of coffee (or tea) and join us as we talk about the upcoming Sunday scripture passages

  • Everyone is invited to join this ongoing, online study group. We meet every Tuesday at 9:30am for about 90 minutes. The only book you will need is a Bible in any translation. Week to week will be a standalone study so it is not necessary to join each week. Registration is required to access the Zoom session.

  • Throughout the year we offer seasonal or short-term small group and book study opportunities. Find out more about those classes and sign up for all classes here.
