Join us for a refreshing time of fellowship and deep study of God’s Word! Our group welcomes women of all ages who desire to grow in their faith and understanding of Scripture. Together, we’ll dive verse by verse into the Book of James, exploring its practical wisdom for living out our faith.

This study will be led by Pastor Gary Hamrick, offering insightful teaching and discussion that will encourage and challenge us. Whether you’re new to Bible study or have been studying for years, you’ll find a welcoming community of ladies and meaningful conversation here.

Come as you are—bring your Bible, your questions, and your heart ready to learn!

Hello and Welcome. My name is Alicia Newton. I have been a long-time member of West Ridge Church since 2008. I have been a small group leader in women’s ministry for over 3 years now. I am married to my husband, Joey. We have 3 kids, a 26-year-old daughter, ShyAnne, with our son-in-law, Brendan, and 2 grandbabies, 4 and 2. Sydney, a 19-year-old daughter, is a freshman at KSU. And our 15-year-old son, Jacob, is a sophomore in high school.

I work full-time at Advocates for Children in Cartersville as a Volunteer Coordinator. I also serve in additional volunteer roles at the church and within my career role. Outside of work and volunteering, I love to cook, be outside, the beach, mountains, you name it! One of my loves as a group leader is connecting with women to grow in relationship and in our walk with Jesus.
