Women's Studies
How we view God affects how we live on a daily basis.
Our distorted view of God is at the root of all of our problems. The way back, the path of hope, starts with knowing God for who He really is. Join us for an 8 week study as Chip Ingram leads us in an in-depth look at seven attributes of God, and learn to see Him in a whole new light. Learning to see God as He longs to be seen will change the way you think about God, yourself and others.
Come join us in our small womens’ groups, as we encourage one another through God’s Word, prayer, relationships and daily living. The weekly assignments are light this semester!
*This study may require access to Right Now Media, so please check the box in registration if you do not currently have access and we will email you the link. Look forward to seeing you!

Mothers of Preschoolers (Pregnant through Kindergarten)
We meet the 2nd & 4th Thursdays between September and May from 6:30pm-8:30pm at gracespring Bible Church. Join us as Moms enjoy relaxation, learning, discussions and creative activities. We would love to have you come check us out. Your first meeting is free. If you decide to register there is a $31.95 MOPS International registration fee that goes directly to MOPS international. In addition to the MOPS International fee our local chapter collects dues in September to cover our local expenses of food supplies, speaker fees, and crafts supplies. Our local dues are determined at the beginning of each semester. We also have scholarships available as we don’t want money to keep anyone from being able to enjoy the MOPS experience. Please contact our Finance Coordinator, Amanda Ulman, for information regarding scholarships at mopsgracespring@gmail.com.
Registration for our 2020-2021 season is now CLOSED. You can reach our MOPS Coordinators at mopsgracespring@gmail.com with any questions.
Seasoned Sisters
Women 50 years & older
No one should ever come to church and have the heaviness of loneliness or a sense of not belonging. Sister, if you are 50+ years old, we have a place at the table for you. We meet the second Saturday of every month at 9:00 am at Michelle’s Restaurant, 4010 Gull Road, Kalamazoo. (next to “Frosty Boy”) *Location may change pending COVID-19 Dining restrictions. Please contact us for the most recent information.
“Seasoned Sisters” isn’t just about eating breakfast. We are a community group… we are the church… we are the hands and feet of Jesus… we are the hope and encouragement… whatever your need, trial, or journey. With the combined years of experience and wisdom, you will find a fellow traveler. You do not have to walk your road alone. We are here to welcome you and fold you into the body of sisters. Over the years we, as a group of seasoned ladies, have provided and served in several ways, including a mission project that has provided clean water for life for hundreds of people in five different countries. Come and be a part of this dynamic group of “Seasoned Sisters!” You can contact Sandy Skartsiaris at 269-720-9916 for information.
Women’s Worship & Prayer Night
The 4th Friday of the month
If you’ve joined us for one of our recent retreats, you KNOW the powerful times of praise and worship we have enjoyed together as women. The convergence of many voices lifted in praise is a beautiful sound and a “sweet aroma” to the Lord. Join us the 4th Friday of each month at gracespring (in the gsKidz Theater) as we lift high the name of Jesus and spend time in prayer together.
