Fall News and Updates
Women's Tuesday Night Study
Announcing our New Fall Study!
Our Tuesday evening group will start back up Tuesday evening, October 5 at 7:00 pm with a short four-part study by John MacArthur titled How to Study the Bible. (Click the title to order your book.) This study will meet every other Tuesday for four sessions through the Fall. We will continue the Zoom platform along with our regular meeting on site. Email info@pacifichope.com to sign up, and specify whether you'll join the study in person or via Zoom.
Book Description:
The Bible is the Word of Life—and learning to understand it is crucial to the growth of every believer! In this revised resource, Grace to You host John MacArthur answers both the "why" and "how" questions of studying Scripture as he examines key passages from the Old and New Testaments.
Questions for review, and personal reflection questions to discover your own motivations and understanding of biblical principles are included. This valuable resource, if followed, will provide you with a rich understanding and command of Scripture.
Women's Wednesday Morning Study
The Wednesday morning study in The Pursuit of Holiness by Jerry Bridges will start back up starting back on September 15, 2021 at 9:30
am in El Cajon (see our schedule, below). You're welcome to join us at any point, even if you haven't been with us so far. (Click here if you need to order the book: The Pursuit of Holiness. We're using the 2016 edition which includes a study guide.)
Important Note: We will augment the study guide in the book with additional questions for a more in-depth study. These additional questions will be posted for download in the schedule below on this web page as they become available. Be sure and check back as you prepare for each new lesson.
Book Description:
God commands His people, "Be holy, for I am holy." But holiness is something that is often missed in the Christian's daily life. That's because we're not exactly sure what our part in holiness is. In this spiritual growth classic, Jerry Bridges helps us see clearly just what we should rely on God to do--and where we need to accept responsibility. Whether you're just beginning your pursuit of holiness or continuing your journey, these timeless principles and guidelines will challenge you to joyfully obey God's command of holiness.

Women of Hope, the Women's Ministry of Pacific Hope Church, is part of the entire discipleship ministry of Pacific Hope Church. Under the direction and oversight of the Elders, Women of Hope is led by a team of women who meet regularly for the sake of accountability, leadership development, prayer, and planning. We exist to encourage and equip women to think and live according to the Word of God. Our desire is that every woman would know Christ personally and fulfill the Lord's requirement “to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with our God.” (Micah 6:8).
Foundations of Hope
Based on the mandate found in Titus 2, Women of Hope launched a mentoring ministry in January 2015. The aim of this ministry is to equip women in these four foundational areas:
- Walk: Personal Bible study and prayer
- Home: Being busy at home as a single, wife and/or mom
- Doctrine: Spiritual life and biblical womanhood
- Fellowship: Hospitality and mentoring other women.
Through monthly small group meetings, mentors help women establish relationships with other women, learn to think Biblically, apply Biblical principles to relationships and circumstances, grow in godliness, and grow in their love for and service to the church.
Because these groups involve progressive teaching and mentoring, sign-ups are limited to the beginning of each two-year cycle. We currently have no start date scheduled for 2020, but if you are interested in the next session, please email info@pacifichope.com.
