Women of First

Our Vision and Purpose
A ministry at First Church for woman! Our goal is to hold a series of events throughout the year to bring together all the women of the church “to grow together in Christ, loving and nurturing one another along the way!”

Upcoming Events: 

Summer Study: “Namesake”
Join us on Tuesdays, June 11 - August 20 from 7:00 – 8:30 pm in Wesley Hall.
Every name tells a story. Names in Scripture were often given to tell the story of a person’s identity, upbringing, or character. When God transforms lives, He often brings more than we bargained for: new identities, new journeys, even new names.

Namesake is a six-week Bible study that explores the transformational power of God through the stories of biblical characters who met God and whose lives and names were changed forever. As you meet Abraham and Sarah, Jacob, Naomi, Daniel, Peter, and the unnamed woman, you will discover that God wants to be just as intimately involved in your story, offering an identity that shines with the purpose for which you were created. Books are available for pick up in the north lobby for $10.00 each. Come to the first session with chapter one complete.
