Taste and see that the Lord is good! Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in Him!
Psalm 34:8
Our theology, what we believe about God, impacts every area of our relationship with Him. What we believe about Who He is and His intentions towards us colors how we worship, how we pray, how we repent, how we obey, how we enjoy Him! Does our theology line up with Who He’s revealed Himself to be? That’s the question we all must address.
The heart of women’s ministry at APC is to encourage and equip our women to become passionate followers of Christ. We desire for our women to grow in their understanding of and belief in who God clearly reveals Himself to be through His word. Knowing Him and trusting Him, we find ourselves to be fully loved, fully forgiven, and fully invited into what He’s doing in the world around us, both large and small. We believe that the more we taste these unchanging truths which transform lives, the more we delight in Him and bring glory to our God! To that end, the women’s ministry is committed to offering our women opportunities to gather in the word and in community to encourage and equip one another in our faith and in our service in the name of Christ.
We invite you to come and see! Taste His goodness with us!

Over the summer, we will have 3 different opportunities for thoughtful book club discussions of On Reading Well by Karen Swallow Prior. Through classic literature and Christian reflection, this book explores how reading well can help us grow in virtue, wisdom, and compassion. Whether you’re an avid reader or looking to go deeper in what it means to read well, we’d love to have you join us this summer for rich conversation and community. We’ll meet three times through the course of the summer, so feel free to join us for one or all of these as we discuss.

Friday, July 10 at 12pm – Part Two: The Theological Virtues (chapters 5-7)
Saturday, August 15 at 10am – Part Three: The Heavenly Virtues (chapters 8-12)
Morning Meditation — The Psalms
As our Father pursues relationship with us, He also extends an invitation for us to come to Him. Consider accepting that invitation by joining us at the church for some morning meditations on the Psalms. The Psalms quite often mirror our human emotions, help ground us in gospel truth, and deepen our connection with God. We will focus on a different Psalm at each of the 5 meetings. This is less of a Bible study and more of an opportunity to ponder God’s word and turn it into a time of personal conversation with Him through journaling and prayer. Please note that each meditation has 2 meeting time options: 7:30am or 10:30am with the same content offered at both.
Dates: Mon, July 6; Tues, July 14; Wed, July 22; Thurs, July 30; Fri, August 7, 2026
Times: 7:30am-8:30am or 10:30am-11:30am; same content in both
Location: APC Classroom 114 (Conference Room)
Note: Coffee and small breakfast bites provided
