The mission of Veritas Community Church is to make and be disciples of Jesus in the city of Dayton. Our women’s ministry aims to encourage and equip women of all ages to fulfill the mission of our church. In 2025, we will study the letter to the Philippians, including an evening event to kick off our study in January. Book Club this season will focus on the priority and privilege of prayer. Registration for all of the above is now open— check out more details below!
ONE IN SPIRIT
an evening in philippians
Join the women of Veritas for an evening in the book of Philippians. This event will kick off our Philippians Bible study but is open to all women, including those who cannot attend the Bible study sessions. We will explore the context of Paul’s letter to the Philippians, read Philippians aloud, pray, and spend time in fellowship with one another. Teens and school-aged children are more than welcome to attend!
Monday, January 27th
7:00-9:00pm
Hope Lutheran Church, Great Hall
*Childcare not provided for this event; infants are welcome.
Bible Study
paul’s letter to the philippians
Our Bible study in Philippians will begin in February with Monday evening and Tuesday morning sessions. The study will run for six sessions in our typical biweekly style. This study has been written and designed by Veritas women and for Veritas women! Our prayer is that we will grow together in love for God and be encouraged as we explore themes of joy in suffering, unity among believers, and the majesty of Christ. We would love for you to join us!
Workbooks are free to all registrants and available for personal study for those who cannot attend. Workbooks will be distributed on January 27th at One In Spirit: An Evening in Philippians.

“Nearly all Christians would affirm the centrality of prayer for a healthy Christian life. And yet, for many, prayer is often a challenge, requiring intense personal commitment and self-discipline. However, as Megan Hill points out in Praying Together, our normal approach to prayer leaves out a crucial component: other people. While personal prayer is important, God designed the church to be a community of believers who regularly pray together. Exploring the Bible’s rich teaching on what it means to gather at God’s throne with one voice, Hill lays a theological foundation for corporate prayer and offers practical guidance for making it a reality―in our families, churches, and communities.”
