The story of god

First Qtr of 2025

Anyone who wants to understand their own story must understand the gospel story of Jesus told throughout the Bible.

The Story of God, one of three studies in the Deep Dive series, is an 8-week, group-discipleship resource exploring the overarching redemptive narrative of the Bible. Traveling chronologically from Genesis to Revelation, this study will remove the intimidation factor and allow participants to discover the story of Jesus on every page of the Bible. This discovery will equip participants to join Jesus in that big story. 

Theology and
the mission of god

First Qtr of 2025

Living for Jesus requires knowing Jesus, and understanding core doctrines helps us know Jesus.

Theology and the Mission of God, one of three studies in the Deep Dive series, is an 8-week, group-discipleship resource. This journey will lead group members out of their comfort zones and into deeper spiritual maturity as they study and apply core doctrines from the global Church.

DivorceCare is a safe place where caring people come alongside you as you find healing from the pain of separation or divorce. At this 13-week, video-based support group program, you'll find helpful counsel to manage the emotional turmoil and practical tools for decision-making.

This group will be held Sunday Mornings, starting Oct 6 @ 9am in the Middle School Building Randy Brashears is the leader of this group. There is a cost of $20 per person for the workbook. Please feel free to join at anytime!

Woodland Downtown

First Tuesday of Each Month

a new church experience
Location: Oscura 816 Manatee Ave E, Bradenton, FL 34208

Our gatherings will have more of a "small group" feel. Pastor Tim Passmore will offer a short message to everyone which then will transition into small group discussions. It's like going to a coffee chat/discussion with friends. The messages will parallel the sermons that are given on Sundays at the Main Woodland Campus but be shorter and more discussion-oriented.  Come expecting a new experience! Also, this location will not have any Children's programming, but we do offer quite a bit for children & students at our main campus if interested! If you are interested in learning more tap the button above!

GriefShare

Starting Nov 3
Sundays @ 9:30am

What is GriefShare?

At GriefShare you’ll receive valuable guidance and tips, leading you to relief, comfort, and peace of mind. A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.

The class location: room 224
Time: 9:30 - 11am
Cost is $20
Class runs 14 weeks.

West Side Community Group Dinner/Interest Meeting

December 11 @ 6:30pm

Groups have one, simple purpose: to bring people together to know God more. We believe God created us to live in relationship with others and only then can we live the full life He intends for us. Sharing life through community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren’t always easy to find. That’s why groups exist—to make these life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you where you live.

For this event we are calling all people that live West of the Interstate to a dinner and interest meeting on Wednesday, November 11 at 6:30pm at Woodland. We would love to gather together, eat dinner, and share vision for what we are calling small group "pods". If you are able to come please Sign Up using the button above! 

GLORIA

a Christmas Program

Sunday, Dec 8 @ 9am & 11am

Christmas at Woodland this year will be called Gloria and will be a special program in lieu of our normal Sunday services at both 9 & 11AM. The program will combine a multi-generational choir from within and outside of Woodland, orchestral members from the Sarasota Music Conservatory, WFA dance ensembles, soloists', a small drama team, and various video elements that all point towards celebrating Jesus as our Savior and Lord. Songs include fresh arrangements of modern carols mixed with a Christmas worship experience for the whole family.

While we’ll still have regular children’s programming that Sunday, you’re more than welcome to bring the entire family, neighbors, co-workers, and friends who might like to experience the joy of Jesus this Christmas celebrated through the creative arts.
