After the Boxes Are Unpacked is a women’s study that can be used by individuals or as a group experience online or in churches, military installations, homes, seminaries, mission organizations, and in corporate settings.

The study addresses the many emotions brought on by a move, provides opportunity for spiritual growth, and facilitates new friendships with women who understand the challenges of starting over in a new community.

It is based upon the book, After the Boxes are Unpacked, by the Founder of Just Moved Ministry, Susan Miller. A seasoned mover and popular speaker, Susan shares the biblical principles she learned as a result of her 14 moves. The study is designed for 12 sessions, but is adaptable to meet the needs of the group.

The study takes the newcomer through the important stages necessary for a successful move: letting go and trusting God, starting over with hope, and moving forward in faith. Not only does the study prepare, encourage, and equip for the emotional and spiritual strain of such a major life change, it provides a wonderful way to make the friends and to create community connections.

Use the Newcomer Study Guide by yourself or with a group of other newcomers to enrich your experience of After the Boxes Are Unpacked and deepen your understanding of God's involvement in your move.

If ever there was a time to join an online or in-person study group, it is NOW. When you’re new to your community, it’s common to feel disconnected and isolated without local friendships and support.
