We want to help you get through the midweek hump

Wednesdays have long been called "Hump Day," meaning that it's often the most difficult day of the week, standing between the previous two days of work and the upcoming two days of work before the beloved weekend arrives. Wednesday is often the "hump" many people have to get over to coast into a work-free couple of days.


The middle of the week -- MDWK -- also provides an opportunity to get recharged and refreshed spiritually with your church family in a community of faith. That's the goal of MDWK at First. We want you to be able to get plugged into Bible study and fellowship with other believers as you seek to be the hands and feet of Jesus during the week! MDWK at First is a great opportunity to do just that!


Here's what's happening this fall at MDWK at First during Winter, 2025!

  • Pastor’s Bible Study

    Wednesday | 6 PM | Sanctuary


    Dr. Jonathan Russell leads an All Adult Bible study in the sanctuary. These verse-by-verse studies examine a book of the Bible in great detail, and careful attention is given to how the lessons from Scripture impact daily living.

  • Young Adults at First

    Wednesday | 6 PM | Building E Room 234


    Our young adults do a variety of studies from topical to walking through a book of the Bible chapter by chapter. This Fall, they are studying the Minor Prophets and how they speak to us today. Along the way, they will learn methods for studying Scripture that apply to all of the Bible.

  • Women at First

    Wednesday | 6 PM | Building E Downstairs


    Starting in January 2026, our women will walking through "He's Where the Joy Is" by Tara-Leigh Cobble. There is a book to go along with this study, though it is not required. The book is available through the study leader or by visiting this link.


    "It's hard to know a God we don't understand, and it's hard to love a God we don't know. But our God wants to be known and loved, and He’s told us a lot about Himself in the pages of His Word.


    Join Tara-Leigh Cobble in this 7-session study as she breaks down the intimidating doctrine of the Trinity. You'll discover a beautiful, foundational view of our Triune God that will transform how you relate to Him. Understanding God's three-in-oneness and each of the Persons of God individually—Father, Son, and Spirit—will lead you to deeper intimacy with God and greater joy in knowing Him!"

  • Men at First

    Wednesday | 6 PM | Building E Room 138


    Our men's ministry will study 7 Challenges Men Encounter.


    "Daily it's getting more challenging to be a man. Our present culture is redefining manhood and confusing men in their pursuit of Biblical manhood. But how will you respond? What will you say and do when the world demands a response? Discover how to respond by rejecting passivity, accepting responsibility, leading courageously, loving unconditionally, living with integrity, serving humbly, and investing eternally. Let others see masculinity and manhood through the lens of Christ in your life with these seven characteristics and become a better man, husband, father, and leader."

  • Single Moms Group Bible Study

    Wednesday | 6 PM | Building E Room 235


    Our Single Moms will study It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way: Finding Unexpected Strength When Disappointments Leave You Shattered.


    "Life often looks very different than we hoped or expected. Some events may simply catch us off guard for a moment, but others shatter us completely. At times like these, it's easy to feel disappointed and disillusioned and to wonder about the reality of God's goodness.


    "So what do you do when God's timing seems questionable, his lack of intervention hurtful, and his promises doubtful?


    "Lysa understands this deeply. But she's also discovered that our disappointments can be the divine appointments our souls need to radically encounter God. In this video Bible study, Lysa invites small groups and individuals into her own journey of faith. With vulnerability and honest humor, she helps us:

    • Learn how to better process unmet expectations and other painful situations.
    • Train ourselves to recognize the three strategies of the enemy so we can stand strong and persevere through unsettling relationships and uncertain outcomes.
    • Discover the secret of remaining trustful when God seems to give us more than we can handle.
    • Shift our suspicion that God is cruel or unfair to the biblical assurance that God is protecting and preparing us for what's next.
    • Know how to encourage a friend and help her navigate hard realities with real help from God's truth."
