At First Baptist Church, our Women's Ministries offer many opportunities for
spiritual growth and fellowship. The groups listed below give an idea of the wide variety of opportunities available.
SISTERS— Inviting Women to Grow
in Christ and Community
SISTERS is a group of women in the church dedicated to providing all women with opportunities to increase in spiritual maturity, deepen their understanding of the Bible and grow in Sisterhood.
It is our desire to impact lives for the Lord and to step out into the community to reach those who need support, encouragement and Christ. SISTERS' members plan Bible studies, enrichment programs and social events for women of all ages and walks of life. These activities are open to ALL WOMEN.
Please contact the church office if you have an interest in the SISTERS committee. Your thoughts, ideas and enthusiasm are always welcome!
ABW— American Baptist Women
American Baptist Women’s Ministries is an inviting organization open to the needs of women. We focus on people and ministry rather than organizational structure. Each woman may choose to participate according to her needs, interests and gifts as she is led by the Spirit of God.
We focus on:
• Personal Development Ministries by providing opportunities for each woman to become and develop as God’s person: deepening her faith, developing her gifts and becoming a more effective Christian disciple and steward.
• Church and Community Ministries by providing opportunities for women to build God’s faith community: developing relationships and meeting the physical and spiritual needs of others in their homes and their communities.
• Mission and Service Ministries by providing opportunities for women to serve God’s world: participating in American Baptist mission outreach and meeting the physical and spiritual needs of others in our nation and in God’s world.
Apples of Gold — Mentors for Women
Apples of Gold, a womens' mentoring program, began in 1995 in Holland, Michigan. The program is designed to nurture the younger women, but the mentors receive a great blessing as well. Lasting friendships are made through the ministry of Apples of Gold. If you would enjoy joining this program,
contact the church. More information about the program can be found at the Apples of Gold website.
