Dates & Times


Lamplighters follows the school year calendar. We kick off a new study each September and meet weekly through mid-April. We take a break between Thanksgiving and New Year’s and follow the Austin Independent School District schedule for spring break and other holiday and bad weather closings.

While we meet at various locations and times throughout the week, all our Lamplighters study the same scriptures of the Bible, using a coordinated lesson schedule and weekly podcast. Read about our different meeting times and register for one that works best for your schedule. If you don’t see a convenient date and time, or you don’t live in Austin, we are open to helping you start a new Lamps on Location or Virtual Lamps group. Email us at lamplightersbiblestudy@gmail.com for more information on starting a new group.

Our largest Lamplighters group! Women will independently listen to weekly podcast that will be posted every Monday, then gather for a meet and greet and break into small groups for discussion and prayer time. Small groups stay together for the whole year. Twice a year we have fellowship lunches so groups can enjoy extended time together. We end our year with a picnic where we feast on one another’s company and delicious food at The Skaggs Ranch.
