women | First Church of God

No matter your age or chapter of life, whether you’re just checking out God for the first time or firmly rooted in your faith, working at home or in the marketplace, single, married, parenting, empty nester… the heart of First Church’s Women’s Ministry beats to meet the unique needs of adult women. We’re here to encourage women to become grounded in God’s Word and build relationships with one another, offering quite a few opportunities that build bridges to women and bring them together to love God, pursue Truth and serve others. Because when it comes down to it, through every twist and turn in life we need to be able to turn to God and His Word, to prayer that sustains us, and to each other!
