A Fresh Start: Basic lessons for new Christians (8 lessons). This study answers questions such as what is the gospel, who is Jesus, who is God the Father, who is the Holy Spirit, how do I live my life now, how to find a good church, and what it means to share about Jesus with others around you.

Seek the Treasure: Unearthing the riches of Christ in Ephesians (8 lessons, podcasts). This study introduces women to the book of Ephesians by helping them dig for all the treasure in it for us as believers without getting bogged down in too much theology.
