Frequently asked questions:
When does it start?: Those who sign up will start getting their Hinged email( teaching video, discussion questions and other helpful encouragements) each Friday starting May 29th and then each Friday for the next 12 weeks.
Can you do it individually or as group? YES and YES! You could do it with women in your church, neighborhood or far away friends. I heard about a group of MTW missionaries who plan to do it together and I loved the story of grandmother who is doing it with her daughter and granddaughter. We will give you helpful tips and discussion questions each week when you sign up. You could meet virtually or Lord willing in person. You could also do it individually at your own pace.
Is there any limit as to how many women can join? NO- the more the merrier!
How do I access the Teaching Videos? - When you sign up, you will get the weekly (30 min.) teaching videos delivered to your inbox. A new one goes up each week and you can watch them anytime you like. They will reside on our YouTube Channel which you can subscribe to here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDfBMg5dco25vL0wCDgz63Q
How do I get my Bible Study Book? You can purchase your print copy here. There is a bulk discount so buy for a group, save the shipping, and have a porch pick up.

Titus 2 Discipleship [ T2D ]
T2D is committed to Gospel imperatives and the strategies God has given to His church to pass the legacy of biblical womanhood to the next generation. There are women who long for a spiritual mother to guide them, and others who do not even realize the gift of having such a gospel friendship. At the same time, there are many women among us willing to be equipped to meet this need. This ministry will connect these women. Groups of approximately 8-10 women meet monthly to share, pray and learn. Signup for a T2D group today!
Meeting Place: Multiple T2D groups available with various locations
Time: Groups from Monday - Saturday available with multiple times
Childcare Provided: No
Questions?: Email our T2D Coordinator to find your group!
Care & Support
Care, Mercy, Support
NPC Care Team
The Women's Ministry Care Team serves individuals and families in our church family in times of need. The crisis may be a sudden or long term illness, a new baby in the family, job loss or food insecurity.
We ask the women of NPC to sign up to be providers of hot meals, give someone a ride, babysit, make a friendly visit, help clean a house or help prepare freezer meals. When asked to serve they can always say "Not this time". We are partnering with the NPC deacons to complement their ministry. Sign up to serve here.
Please let us know if you or anyone you know in our church family needs assistance. Let us know by contacting the office or filling out this form.
Pregnancy Support
The Counseling Ministry at Naperville Presbyterian Church provides support & education to those in need of aid, including Crisis Pregnancy Team and New Baby Ministry Team. Please visit our NPC Pregnancy Support Page for more information.
