These are exciting times! We praise the Lord for all his blessings! 

VOLUNTEER/SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES

GREEN TEAM

Do you have teens who need service hours? Would you like to help them meet their goals AND save the church money while getting some fresh air and sunshine? Volunteering on a Green Team may be the answer!


Please call the Faith office at 847-395-1660 or email Jeremy Lohman at ministrysupport@faithantioch.org if you are interested in serving in this way.

TELLERS

Have you ever wanted to serve but it's hard to find the time? Serving as a teller happens directly after Sunday service and teams serve once every 8 weeks! The teller teams are four tellers short so please consider helping to fill this need.


If you would like to serve as a teller please call the Faith office at 847-395-1660 or email Tim Anderson at finsec@faithantioch.org if you are interested in serving in this way.

2024 WEEKLY BIBLE STUDIES

SUNDAYS at 8:15 AM

CHILDREN'S SUNDAY SCHOOL

Pre-K-6th Grade


Topic: God Leads His Nation


Learn how God led his people to the Promised Land through his faithful servants: Moses, judges, and kings of Israel. Lessons include activities, songs, and crafts!

YOUTH BIBLE CLASS

Grades 7-10


Topic: God Leads His Nation



Learn how God led his people to the Promised Land through his faithful servants: Moses, judges, and kings of Israel. Lessons include in-depth study, application, and journaling.

ADULT BIBLE CLASS

Grade 11+ and Adults


New Topic: “My Life for the Kingdom”


This 10-week course (based on Genesis chapters 37-50) uses the life of Joseph and his family to help students discover the ways God graciously equips them to bless others and how he uses evil intentions for the good of his people.

WEDNESDAY EVENINGS at 7 PM

ADULT BIBLE CLASS

Adults


Topic: Job


Most Christians are familiar with the story of Job, the wealthy man who lost everything as part of Satan’s plan to destroy his faith. But few Christians have read the entire book, including the lengthy discourse between Job and his friends. Studying this book in its entirety gives Christians insight into the heart and mind of a suffering Christian, giving the readers an important framework for their own times of suffering.

THURSDAY MORNING at 9AM

WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY

Adult women


New Topic: “Families of the Bible”


This 8-week course explores familiar Biblical family relationships - from Adam and Eve to Mary and her son Jesus - and the challenges those families faced. Each lesson examines Scriptural truths from a biblical family circumstance and applies them to modern family life.
