Each Month The Church At Sun Valley Does a New Study Together

June, 2025 - Be a Godly Man

God has created men to have incredible strength. But today’s culture has hijacked masculinity, distorting strength into passivity and abuse. 

In this 5-part video Bible study series, pastor Joby Martin invites men to embrace God’s definition of masculinity and to step into His calling upon their lives to wield their strength on behalf of others. God has designed men to be protectors, providers, and defenders. When men act like men, everyone flourishes.

May, 2025 - Reclaiming Motherhood

When was the last time you regarded your role as a mother as life-giving and fun? 

Being a mom is supposed to be “rewarding,” but often we as mothers get stuck in a draining, repetitive cycle when it comes to parenting and living our daily lives. But what if there was another way to approach motherhood, a way that enables us to shift our perspective on what it means to be a mom and ushers in a joyful new season of mothering? 

In this six-session series, Mandy Arioto (President and CEO of The MomCo) invites mothers in all stages of mothering to join her in rediscovering and reclaiming the beauty, fun, passion and vitality of motherhood. Featuring research insights from Barna Group, this series—set up for both group and solo exploration—will leave moms feeling seen, acknowledged and encouraged. 

April, 2025 - Easter

The resurrection is the most important moment in history, but it is more than an event we remember on Easter Sunday. Join pastor J.D. Greear as he takes a deeper look at Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection in the Gospel of Matthew, revealing the ways we should see ourselves in Jesus’s story. Jesus died for us so that he could be alive in us today. Easter changes everything.

March, 2025 - Essentials of Faith: Series 4

Everyone seems to have something to say about the church. But what is the church, exactly? Is it a nice building with a steeple? An experience on a Sunday morning? A group of people aligned around certain issues? In this series, author and pastor Derwin Gray examines Acts and Paul's letters to explain what the church is, how it began, what it does, and its mission. This series will inspire you to learn from the rich history of the church and will motivate you to act as an empowered member of the family of God.

February, 2025 - Gospeler

When Jesus commissioned his disciples to go and make disciples, he invited all his followers-including us-to join his work in the world. As followers of Christ, we have the best news that everyone needs. But are we sharing it? In this six-session series, author and businessman, Willie Robertson encourages us to embrace our identity as "gospelers," ready and able to share the good news of Jesus. We don't need to preach to share the gospel; we simply need to have meaningful conversations.

January, 2025 - Understanding Spiritual Warfare

Are there unseen spiritual battles being waged against you? Are you trapped in a cosmic struggle far bigger than yourself? Or have you dismissed it all as mere Christian mumbo-jumbo from fundamentalist fear-mongers? In this eye-opening five-session study on spiritual warfare, Pastor Guna Raman rips away the veil of complacency when it comes to the spirit world. Through biblical teachings and real-life testimonies, he opens our eyes to the spiritual forces actively opposing our faith. He also provides us with practical strategies to engage boldly with these spiritual enemies.

December - Everyday Advent

Advent is a time to remember and reflect, but it's also a time of looking forward with hope and anticipation. We remember the significance of the arrival of baby Jesus, and we look forward with great anticipation to his coming return. But the greatest hope of all is that Jesus is fully present and being revealed in a deeper way in our hearts every day.

November - Why Does Jesus Matter?

What makes Jesus such an important person? In this six-session series, pastor and author J.D. Greear will answer the question, “Why does Jesus matter?” He’ll explore who Jesus is, why he came, and what he said and did, to help us understand the life-changing effect Jesus had—and continues to have—on the world. Join J.D. and see the difference that Jesus can make in your life.

October - What Is a Christian

Ask any group what it means to be a Christian, and we will hear different answers. But what unifies us? What are the basic characteristics of our faith that every Christian affirms? In this six-session series, Francis Chan will lead us in an exploration of key concepts common to all Christians through the centuries. No matter what divides us, we are united by these truths about the God we worship and our relationship with him.
