Small Groups and Bible Classes

We love to learn and do life together.

We have many opportunities for you to get involved in consistent small groups where we journey together in faith and discipleship. Find the right fit for you!

Sunday morning Bible classes and small groups meet at 9 a.m.

Reflect. Recharge. Reconnect.
March 12 – April 23 in the Caf next to the fireplace
Led by Becca Johnson
Start your week with calm and intentionality! Bring a journal, grab a coffee, and come share the week with a small group. We read encouraging passages of the Bible together, reflect on journal prompts about where we are spiritually, and pray together.

Bible studies and small groups that meet throughout the week:

Cultivating Lasting, Loving Partnerships
Sundays from 6-8 p.m. at the Campus Ministry Condo from Jan. 22 – March 19

Led by Falon and Nate Barton
This 8-week class is for a committed, small group of couples who want to nurture their relationship for the long haul. The content is geared toward couples of all ages who are seriously dating, engaged, or very recently married (within the last six months). This class is not an alternative to pre-marital counseling but will be a helpful complement to enrich your relationship, using the RelateStrong curriculum developed by Pepperdine's Boone Center for the Family. Please sign up to participate in this class by clicking here. Space is limited to only four couples. Email Campus Minister Falon Barton at falon.barton@pepperdine.edu for more information

Monday Morning Meditation
Mondays from 7:15 – 7:45 a.m. at Stauffer Chapel

Led by Lead Minister Eric Wilson
Join Eric for 30 minutes of meditation to start off your week. We gather for brief instruction on Christian meditation followed by 20 minutes of practicing meditation together. Come for calm; come for centering; come for community with God and others.
​
Malibu Women's Bible Study
Tuesdays from 10:30 a.m. – noon at Malibu Pacific Church and via Zoom

Led by Council Member Corleen Parmelee
MWBS is an in-depth, interdenominational Bible study involving women seeking together to better understand the heart of God and walk in the paths of Jesus. This year we are focusing on the books of 1 and 2 Samuel as we study the stories of Samuel, Saul, and David and explore what they meant for the kingdom of Israel, what they mean for the kingdom of God, and how they apply to our lives today. Come and join women from our church and our friends from the surrounding area (and even from other states!) as we study and fellowship together. Email Corleen at corleenparmelee@gmail.com or malibuwbs@gmail.com for more details.
