Discipleship Groups
Fall Discipleship Groups
We need each other to deepen our connections with one another and with God as we are gradually shaped into the people of love we were created to be. If a larger group doesn't fit your schedule or your vibe, a trio or quad just might be the thing.
GROUP OPPORTUNITIES
LIFT
LIFT: Living In Faith Together. Led by Laura Keyser, and Holly Stevens, this women’s group combines Bible study with prayer and fellowship. Come and join us on the 2nd and 4th Mondays, 7:00-8:30-ish pm in the church Lounge.

Calling All Artists
This is your opportunity to be part of a brainstorming session about expressing faith through art. Inspired by the book Art and Faith, by Makoto Fujimura, Leslie Wise invites artists of all media- music, motion, visual- to come pray, dream, envision how we might create space for faithful expression and exploration here in Ambler. Join us in the lounge on Tuesday, October 21, from 7-8:30 pm, and let’s see how the Spirit leads!
Practicing the Way
The Practicing the Way course features eight sessions of teaching, guided conversation, and spiritual exercises designed to lay a foundation for lifelong apprenticeship to Jesus. Over eight sessions, we will form a foundational understanding of intentional spiritual formation. We’ll explore how to follow Jesus in our busy, distracted, and increasingly secular culture.
We meet the second, third, and fourth Tuesdays of each month beginning October 14 from 6:30-8:00 at the Ferrarello home in Blue Bell. We begin with a soup supper. One night you won’t have to cook!

Exploring the Word
This Bible study takes place at Normandy Farms on Wednesday afternoons from 1:30-3. This is an in-depth study of a book of the Bible, chosen by the group. Join us as we explore how to live in response to God’s great love expressed in His Word. The group enjoys lively discussion centered on what the passage means to us in everyday life. Pastor Don closes with prayer for concerns expressed by the group.
Facilitated by Pastor Don Kazen, all are welcome.
Men's Morning Bible Study
This group meets every Wednesday from 6:30-7:30 am via Zoom. The group reads and discusses Scripture and prays for one another.
KOINONIA
We call ourselves Koinonia because our focus is on walking together through life’s ups and downs. We open with a time of fellowship and catching up, study, then end with a time of prayer for each other. We do an inductive study of a book of the Bible led by Pastor Don Price.
Koinonia meets every other Tuesday from 7:15 to 9:00 pm. This group rotates between several hosting homes and leaders send a message to let members know where to meet each time.
Contact Don (DonPricePA@gmail.com) or Sandy Price (aljmorales2012@gmail.com).
Bible Explorers
This group seeks fellowship with God and one another and meets in the homes of group members choosing to host, all of whom are local to the church. Meetings are every other Tuesday from 7-8:30 pm.
Participants range from those brand new to discipleship groups to those who have participated for many years. People are free to come and go as needed, and we especially welcome those who have never tried out a discipleship group – this is a safe place to start! Facilitators are Anne Whitney and John Richards. For more info, contact John Richards, 215-534-6749 John.Richards756@yahoo.com or Anne Whitney 215-718-3567 AnneKWhitney@Protonmail.com
Women of the Bible
The Women of the Bible small group engages with the Bible in a profound way, seeking to understand its deeper meanings and implications, rather than simply reading the surface level of the text. Our studies involve spiritual formation, connecting with a faith community, and engaging in practices that deepen our relationship with our Lord. We meet every other Wednesday from 7-8:45 pm in local members’ homes.
Wednesday Morning Women
The group studies various books of the Bible chosen by consensus with the central belief that “In Christ alone our hope is found, He is my Light, my Strength, my Song.” meets on Wednesdays from 10:30 am until noon in the Ambler home of Kent Selko.

And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Hebrews 10:24-25
