We are a women's interdenominational Bible study which meets at Peachtree
Presbyterian Church in Atlanta, Georgia. Our members are women of all different
ages and from many different churches in the greater Atlanta area. Our meetings
are every Wednesday morning (September through April) from 9:30 am until 11:30
am. The first hour is in the sanctuary: praise and worship followed by a
teaching lesson. In the second hour, small groups meet in classrooms for
discussion and prayer led by individual facilitators.
WCBS is ecumenical meaning we focus on the essentials of the Christian faith
rather than any individual church’s or denomination’s doctrine.
Our mission is to help women grow in their relationship to Christ (fulfilling
the great commission of making disciples) through Bible study, prayer,
fellowship, and accountability. With God's help, our goal is to love, serve,
and honor Jesus Christ in all areas of our lives.
We believe the Holy Scriptures to be the Word of God, inerrant and infallible.
We believe God is the sovereign ruler of all things; that He reveals Himself
through the Trinity: three distinct persons of Father (our creator), Son (our
redeemer), and Holy Spirit (our guide).
We believe in the depravity of man, original sin, and man's sinful nature which
is rooted in pride and selfishness.
We believe that through God's compassion and love, He has initiated a plan of
redemption for man made possible by the atoning death of His Son, Jesus Christ.
Through His plan, which embraces the free choices of man, His purpose will
surely be accomplished.
We believe that Jesus was crucified, buried, rose again and ascended into
heaven to be with God the Father, triumphant over death and hell.
We believe that through the Holy Spirit, all who believe in Jesus and ask Him
to be their Lord and Savior are regenerated. It is by grace, through faith,
that we are saved and justified, redeemed and forgiven. As God’s adopted
children we inherit eternal life.
We believe Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation. We trust God alone to be
the ultimate moral judge of each person, judging each one in light of what they
know, not what they don't know.
We believe that by God’s grace those who have come to saving faith begin a
process of sanctification (increasing holiness). Through regular confession in
prayer and renewing of our minds with God's Word, we are slowly conformed to
the very character of Jesus. Then, through the Holy Spirit’s power, we are
enabled to live holy lives pleasing to the Father.
We believe Christ calls each of us to discipleship and the bearing of one
another's burdens. As evangelicals, we desire to bring the knowledge of Jesus
and salvation through Him to the lost. As Christ’s ambassadors we are called to
service in meeting human needs. Social service becomes evidence of one's faith
as well as a preparation for the proclamation of God's Word.
We believe Jesus is the head of the church which is made up of all born-again
believers. Each believer, as a member of the body of Christ, has been given
certain gifts (spiritual abilities and ministries) to build up the church and
advance the kingdom of God.
We believe God has appointed a day in which He will judge the world as Jesus
returns to reign in victory. Jesus will punish the wicked and take home the
righteous to live with Him forever in God's heavenly kingdom.
