Women’s

Ministry

An effective Women’s Ministry offers a safe

place for all women to worship our Lord and

serve one another in the love of Christ. Our

hope is that you will join with us in building

God’s Kingdom and ministering to the women of

First Baptist Church and of Mercer County. God

has given you an unique set of experiences,

skills, and passions to serve others in His name.

Let us help you find a place of service as well as

a place to grow in your faith. We want every

woman who passes through First Baptist to

never be the same again. We want each one to

have a close and personal relationship with

Jesus, and we want to live in community with

one another, encouraging each other daily. You

can receive email updates on Women’s Ministry

events by emailing your request to

Sheri.Olson@yahoo.com. Please let us know

how we can minister to you and where you feel

God is leading you to minister to others!

Welcome!

We have a place for you!

First Baptist Church

Titus 2:3-8

Older women likewise are to be reverent in

their behavior, not malicious gossips nor en-

slaved to much wine, teaching what is good,

so that they may encourage the young wom-

en to love their husbands, to love their chil-

dren, to be sensible, pure, workers at home,

kind, being subject to their own husbands, so

that the word of God will not be dishonored.

There are plenty of opportunities for women of

all ages and stages of life here at First Baptist

Church. We hope that you’ll find a place to

grow in your faith, share

your heart and serve

others as God guides

you. We have small

groups, Sunday School

classes, mid-week stud-

ies, mission trips and

local mission work

projects, fellowships,

hospitality committees,

Circle groups, a wom-

en’s ministry team,

praise band, vacation

bible school, Kid’s Club,

and many other pro-

grams for you to engage

in worship and service.

New to the faith? We

can help you locate a Christian mentor who will

help you as you seek to learn what God’s word

says. Mentors are also great for answering ques-

tions, navigating life

situations, offering

support and encourage-

ment, and helping to

connect you with

Discipleship Classes We encourage every FBC member to join at least one

small group, whether that is a Sunday School class (9am

Sunday mornings), a mid–week study group like Circle of

Friends (for ladies only—Weds. at 6:30pm), or a women’s

circle, like Joy Circle, that meets on a monthly basis. All

FBC groups are open to new attendees at any time.

Areas of Service We also believe that serving others is a necessary part of

growing in Christ and in community. There are many

areas of ministry at FBC for you to try, and we are always

open to new ideas of how we can better serve, not only

our congregation, but also the Mercer County residents.

Help out with Kid’s Club or Vacation Bible School, join in

the Praise Band, or help with the sound booth and com-

puter projection system, make & take a meal with our

HOMe Team, attend the Women’s Ministry Think Tank

meetings and help plan one of our upcoming events, but

most of all we hope you are listening to God’s guidance in

your life—allowing Him to direct where and how you

serve others in His name for His glory.
