"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen." - 2 Peter 3:18
In a world where women are taught that their worth is measured by external beauty, where success is defined by material possession, women must be transformed from the inside out by the Word of God through His Son Jesus Christ.
Women's Ministry exists to meet the spiritual needs of every woman whether you are a new Christian or seasoned in your walk with God. The Biblical model for Women's Ministry is found in Titus 2 where the Scripture teaches that younger women ought to be taught and molded into a godly woman by women who are older in the faith. In order to hold to this Biblical model, women must be in regular Bible Study and fellowship gatherings with other women of all ages.
Women's Ministry also exists to reach other women for Christ. We attempt to do this by enabling each woman to grow and become more equipped to share their faith. Growing spiritually and making disciples is core to our Women's Ministry.

Moms Keeping Faith
Come join this group for mothers of young children where you can meet other moms, develop important mothering skills, learn what God says about family life, and participate in a prayer and share time with a Mentoring Mom. Some of the topics covered include, how to fill your "love bucket," recognizing common mothering traps, dealing with self-defeating habits in mothering, how to let Christ's love and patience flow through you to your family and much, much more. We're all in this together and how wonderful it is to be able to share the joys and frustrations with other moms, plus get wisdom from Mentoring Moms who have "been there."
This group meets on the second Friday of every month from 9:00 - 12:00 noon. Children enjoy time with other children and learn from curriculum. For more information, contact Amber Davis at amberdavis78@insightbb.com.
