The Armor of God: A 6-Week Bible Study Series

Thursdays at 7:00pm

September 10, 2026 – October 15, 2026

Join us for The Armor of God, a six-week Bible study series where we will explore each piece of God’s armor and discover how it protects, strengthens, and prepares us for everyday life. Together, we will learn how to put on the Belt of Truth, Breastplate of Righteousness, Shoes of the Gospel of Peace, Shield of Faith, Helmet of Salvation, and Sword of the Spirit. Through Scripture, discussion, prayer, and reflection, we will uncover practical ways to apply these spiritual  truths in our daily walk with God.                                   

Whether you are new to the Christian faith or have been following Jesus for many years, this study offers an opportunity to grow stronger spiritually and discover the power of God’s presence in your life. Come and be encouraged, equipped, and renewed as we learn together what it means to “put on the whole armor of God” and stand firm in the strength of the Lord.

“Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power.” — Ephesians 6:10
