Bible studies are offered regularly throughout the year. Come and join us!
TUESDAYS:
MORNINGS 10:30am-12pm
EVENINGS 7:00-8:30pm
February 6th we will be kicking off a new study on Revelation.
What if God is saving the best for last? Of all the books of the Bible, Revelation is the one that mystifies and unsettles people the most. From numerical signs to monsters, the book of apocalypse in the Bible can be difficult to wrap our minds around, but the message that Revelation really brings is hope.
In this six-session video Bible study, Bible teacher and author Margaret Feinberg digs into John's Revelation to show us how the final book of the Bible reminds us of God's power and promises during times of great suffering and persecution.
In this study you will:
Uncover the supernatural power of Jesus' names and titles. Be equipped with tactics on how to overcome the wily ways of the enemy.
Discover how to triumph through the blood of the lamb and the word of your testimony.
Learn that, though life is not always fair, Jesus is NOT finished. John, the author of the book of Revelation, was blessed to see what each of us longs to know, and he gave us a descriptive and poignant expression of the place, the end, and the eternity that God has promised to us. God has indeed saved the best for last, and in Revelation's pages he gives us the one thing we all long for—hope, extravagant hope.

WHEN: Third Wednesday of the month at 10 - Noon
Does not meet during December
WHERE: Northgate Church, Quilting Room
WHO: Women who love to sew and bless others
If you love quilting and love to touch lives for Christ this is the group for you. The quilters come together for fellowship, to teach quilting classes and to make quilts for those in need.
This group started in 2010 as a way to gather women from Northgate and the community who are interested in quilting as a ministry. The quilts serve as a reminder to those who receive them that they are loved and cared for by God. Quilts have been given to many people here in Pittsburgh, to a hospital and orphanage in Haiti, to a church in Houston, TX after a hurricane and to the community of Clay, WV. To find out the next meeting, contact Joanne or Peggy.

Colossians
April 7 - May 26
Sundays @ 9:30 AM
What we think about Jesus matters. Our perception of Him shapes us—what we say, how we treat others, even what we think. If we paint Jesus as any less than who He is as supreme over all creation and savior of the world, not only does our theology slip, but the working out of our faith also suffers.
In this 8-session series, Louie Giglio will take us through the book of Colossians to help us form a complete picture of Jesus. What we believe about Him influences everything from our corporate worship to our relationships to our attitude toward sin. Now alive in Christ, we can live a life worthy of God instead of falling back into the ways of the world.
The Art of Neighboring
April 7 - May 26
Sundays @ 9:30 AM
What comes to mind when you think about your neighbors? Maybe you don’t know them very well or, if you’re honest, maybe you think the lady across the street is a bit weird. For many of us, it can be tempting to keep our distance and mind our own business in our neighborhood. But is that really how God wants us to live?
As followers of Jesus, we’ve been called to love both God and our neighbors. It’s easier said than done, but if we push past the fear, time barriers, and pride that can keep us from engaging with others, we can build deep connections with the people in our neighborhood and, most importantly, please God.
In this four-session series based on their book The Art of Neighboring, Jay Pathak and Dave Runyon help us focus on the people within our neighborhood and learn what it means to be a good neighbor. They discuss the importance of pushing through the uncomfortable feelings that come with communicating, investing in, and caring for the people who live near us. What would our communities look like if we took Jesus’s command to love our neighbors as ourselves seriously?
Find Your People (for women)
April 7 - May 26
Sundays @ 9:30 AM
In the Find Your People video Bible study, bestselling author Jennie Allen looks at the original community in Genesis, the Trinity, and the creation of people to see what God had planned for us all along. Jennie offers practical solutions for creating true community in a world that's both more connected and more isolating than ever before.
Drawing on fascinating insights from science and history, timeless biblical truth, and vulnerable stories from her own life, Jennie helps us discover exactly how to dive into the deep end and experience the full wonder of community. Along the way, we’ll discover the five life patterns required to build deep, connected relationships.
