Thrive is Ada Bible’s Women’s Ministry where all women come together to share life, pursue God and invest in others. Find your place for community with small groups, monthly gatherings at your campus and special all-campus events.
We have many things happening. Join the discussion with our Facebook Group or on Instagram.
Subscribe to our Thrive monthly newsletter and stay up-to-date. Each month, we share important event information, encouraging stories and ways to further your faith.
Looking for some spiritual encouragement in your life? ABC Moms is a time to relax, develop friendships and grow in your faith in Christ with other moms. Your infants, toddlers, and preschoolers will be tenderly cared for as they learn about Jesus in our secure and fun children’s program. ABC Moms is held at the East Paris Campus on the 2nd, 4th and 5th Tuesdays from September through May.
Registration is required. For questions, please email us.
Each week at each campus, women connect with the same group of 8-12 women in small groups to study God’s word and build relationships. You can sign up for an on-campus group through Thrive events, service projects and social gatherings. Children’s Program is available during morning studies only.
A variety of Bible studies are offered at each campus. No matter where you are in your spiritual journey—we have an on-campus group for you.
We have women’s small groups that meet in homes, offices, coffee shops and other places in the community.
We have a seat for you. Find a group with openings through Group Finder.
These are groups that meet for a shorter period, offered at varying times throughout the year, meeting at our East Paris Campus. Registration is required for each group and will open soon. These groups include:
This group strives to help you grow as a woman in marriage and relationships through practical ideas and biblical application. This is not just a study about marriage but a teaching on identity and respect within the context of marriage.
These groups are designed for a woman walking through the trauma of a spouse’s sexual brokenness (including addiction to porn or unfaithfulness). Let us help you find a connection to God that builds healing, intimacy with God and restores hope to your relationship with your spouse.
This small group will equip single women to understand their sexuality, trust the Lord for redemption and healing, and present a broader understanding of what it means to honor God with our sexuality.
Study what God’s Word has to say about our sexuality and pleasure in marriage and how we can THRIVE in God’s design for sex and passion.
Enjoy a lovely homemade meal, community with friends, meeting others from your campus and a personal story shared by someone from our own church family.
