This vibrant and engaging Women’s Ministry Council organizes quarterly events just for women to grow in grace and Christian joy! The types of events are as varied as the women of this congregation. This group revels in the joy of the Lord. Past events have included an international brunch, Holiday dinners, Beth Moore simulcasts and a retreat to the shores of Smith Mountain Lake! Watch the calendar for information. Women’s quarterly events are supplemented by many small group Bible and book studies. For more information on these, see the Small Group section.

Moms Nurturing Moms

Moms Nurturing Moms exists to care for Moms of all ages and from all walks of life. Through Bible and book study, social gatherings, playgroups and local outreach, we hope to create a community of women who can enjoy deep, authentic relationships with God and one another.

 

We are committed to providing a nurturing atmosphere that encourages mothers to be women of Christ-like character who seek to raise children of Christ-like character. We are young and we are old; we have babies and college grads; we are single and we are married.We are all one in Christ and we walk in triumphal procession together spreading the love of Christ in our homes and our community. (2 Corinthians 2:14-15.)
