Striving to be a community of Acts 2 women dedicated to teaching, fellowship, hospitality, and prayer.

The Women’s Ministry of First Presbyterian Church cultivates vibrant fellowship, spurring women on to deepen their relationship with the Lord through intentional prayer, engaging Bible study, and both individual and group discipleship.

Discipleship Together

Women of the Church

September through May
Our 18 Circles are organized through the Women of the Church and meet monthly both at the church and regionally for Bible study, fellowship, service, and prayer. Anyone wishing to join a circle, tap the buttons below!

Monthly Prayer Breakfast

Each month, on the third Monday, our ladies gather at 9:30 a.m. in the Ministry Building on the 1st floor in room 100 to pray for our church, our local mission efforts, our foreign missions and missionaries, our nation, and each other through personal prayer requests. Please join us as we not only adore and thank our Heavenly Father but also bring our confessions and petitions to the throne of grace. 

Summer Book Cub

Each summer, we gather weekly for Summer Book Club. This is a wonderful opportunity for fellowship and growth.

Study Groups

Get Connected. Go Deeper.

Women’s Study Groups will meet for 11 weeks consecutively beginning September 16 and concluding on December 3.  We will study Joshua: No Falling Words by Dale Ralph Davis. There is no charge for the book.

Groups meet at a variety of times and locations. Study Groups are a great way to both grow in your faith and knowledge of the Lord and fellowship with other women of all ages.
