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. Registration for our study through Philippians and Book Club is now closed.

Bible Study
paul’s letter to the philippians
Our Bible study in Philippians runs February through April with Monday evening and Tuesday morning sessions in our typical biweekly style. This study was 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.

“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.”
