Bible Studies


Joni Leahy - Bible Studies Director
When I think of the Bible, God's Word; a lump forms in my throat; it was through God's Word I found healing and freedom in 1996. I was saved when I was 9 and raised in the church; so I had a working, head knowledge of Christ and the Bible but not personal heart knowledge. That's where my passion for learning and studying and came from, it's personal. I LOVE God's Word because I KNOW it is alive, powerful and active and as a Christian woman, that's exactly how I want to be. I am married to Bob 30 years this year and we have 3 amazing children, a precious 3 year old granddaughter and our dog, Chip. We have been a member of WaterStone for 2 years and I am on the board of Passionate Heart Ministries. This ministry's vision to reach this city for Christ by touching the hearts of women through conferences; monthly worship and teaching and yearly outreach conferences. (For more information go to www.Passionateheartministries.com) In 2005 God called me to a speaking ministry to share the hope and freedom I found through God's abounding grace and His amazing Word. It's been an awesome journey!
