A Place to Grow
Our Mission
We are here to direct women to the hope that is found in Jesus Christ,
no matter where you are on the path the Lord has planned for your life.
Women’s Arts & Handcraft
September 18 | 6:00 PM | Gathering Place
Gather with other women for a special evening of creativity, fellowship, and encouragement! Women’s Arts & Handcraft is a wonderful opportunity to slow down, connect with one another, and enjoy a hands-on evening while creating something meaningful.
This month, we’ll be making a beautiful portable prayer board designed to help you keep the people, praises, and prayer needs God has placed on your heart close at hand. Whether you use it at home, keep it on your desk, or take it with you wherever you go, it will serve as a tangible reminder to pause, pray, and seek God throughout your day.
As we craft together, we’ll also have the opportunity to support missions, making this more than just an evening of crafting—it’s an opportunity to create, connect, and make a difference.
Cost: $20

Women's Retreat
A Weekend to Grow in Faith and Draw Closer to Christ
Each spring, the women of our church gather for a special retreat focused on spiritual renewal, meaningful fellowship, and a deeper relationship with the Lord.
Through prayer, worship, Bible-centered teaching, and encouraging discussion, women are challenged and equipped to grow in their faith and engage more deeply with God’s Word. The retreat also provides opportunities to build lasting friendships and connect with other women who are seeking to follow Christ.
Whether you’re looking for refreshment, encouragement, or a renewed focus on your walk with God, our Women’s Retreat offers a meaningful time away to reflect, connect, and grow.
We hope you’ll join us for this special weekend of faith, fellowship, and spiritual renewal.
Christmas Celebration for Women
A Cherished Evening of Fellowship and Celebration
Each year on the first Saturday in December, the women of our church gather for a special Christmas celebration. Beautifully decorated tables create a warm and festive atmosphere as the Men’s Ministry serves a formal meal for the evening.
The event includes fellowship, special music, laughter, and a Christ-centered message that helps us reflect on the true meaning of the season.
If you enjoy decorating, hosting, or helping behind the scenes, consider serving as a table host or volunteer. And be sure to invite a friend to share in this memorable evening with us.
We look forward to celebrating the joy of Christmas together!
Special Events Throughout the Year
In addition to our regular gatherings and Bible studies, our Women’s Ministry hosts a variety of special events throughout the year designed to encourage fellowship, deepen friendships, and create opportunities for fun and connection.
Past events have included day trips, craft nights, comedy events, axe throwing, prayer gatherings, and much more. Whether you’re looking to build relationships, grow in your faith, or simply enjoy time with other women, there’s something for everyone.
We hope you’ll join us at an upcoming event. We’re glad you’re here, and we look forward to getting to know you!
