Women in Ministry
Our women’s ministry is all about equipping and strengthening the women in our Church community to embrace their unique calling as women (Titus 2), serve the Lord, and bring Him glory. Through weekly Bible studies and fellowship events, we strive to think Biblically about womanhood. Join us on this journey by contacting either of our chairpersons—we’re always excited to meet new members.

We are God’s people, the chosen of the Lord, Born of His Spirit, established by His Word; Our cornerstone is Christ alone, and strong in Him we stand: O let us live transparently, and walk heart to heart and hand in hand. We are the Body of which the Lord is Head, Called to obey Him, now risen from the dead; He wills us be a family, diverse yet truly one: O let us give our gifts to God, and so shall His work on earth be done.
-Bryan Jeffery Leech, Trinity Hymnal, #355
