Book a Rowdy Beauty Bible Study on Zoom
Rowdy Beauties Zoom Bible Study

If a small group of your friends would like to set up a time for a weekly, biweekly, or monthly Bible Study facilitated by Alma, please reach out via text to 323-497-3504. 

The spirit of all sessions is a combination of lectio divina (click here), dialogue, and teaching.
experience (over opinion)
connection (over division)
curiosity (over complacency)
compassion (over intolerance)
expansion (over restriction)


All are invited, from those completely unfamiliar to those very familiar, of all races, colors, creeds, gender identifications. The facilitator is Alma Turner, a liver-lover of the 12-Step design for living.
​Alma uses the ESV translation of the Bible.
