Women's Ministries (CWF)

2010-2011 Theme:  Study~Service~Worship

PURPOSE:     To provide opportunities for spiritual growth, enrichment, education, and creative ministries to enable women to develop a sense of personal responsibility for the whole mission of the Church of Jesus Christ.

For generations, the women of First Christian Church have been there and offered their support in many ways in the life of the church. Currently, the Christian Women's Fellowship has two groups and many active ministries in the church.

The RUTH/DORCAS group meets at Wynnfield Crossing at 1:30 on the first Wednesday of each month. The LYDIA/NAOMI group meets at the church on the first Tuesday of each month, at 7:00pm.
