Our Mission
Our Vision
We exist to glorify God by empowering every woman through faith, community, and service. Our mission is to inspire spiritual growth and nurture women in order to reach our families, our community and our world for Christ.
Our Vision
The vision of the FBCD Women’s Ministry is to provide a vibrant and effective multicultural and multigenerational community that supports and encourages women to be disciples of Jesus Christ, who live on mission daily.
PRAYER
The women of our church family believe that prayer is important. As we see in scripture, Jesus modeled prayer for the church and called her to prayer in his name. The Women’s Ministry is starting a Prayer Ministry to teach women the value of praying and how we can pray as the body of Christ. This is a time of guided prayer for our families, church unity, and seeking wisdom as the Lord continues to grow our church as we seek to be Multicultural, Multigenerational, and Multiplying.

BIBLE STUDIES
Knowing the Word is the only sure means of discerning truth from error. Women need to become articulate and committed followers of Christ, with a clear understanding of why they believe what they believe, grounded in the Word of God. Women are most frequently appealed to through their emotions. Because of that, the studies promoted by LifeLine will advocate for women to have Bible literacy, love God with their minds, and follow Christ as His disciple.
LifeLine for Women is a ministry to encourage women to develop a growing and intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ through the study of God's Word in fellowship with other women. Our purpose is to make disciples who will grow up in Christ and make disciples. Welcome are those still seeking as well as those desiring to continue to grow in their walk with the Lord.

Childcare is available for this class, but must be preregistered and the cost is shared among the class via a love offering.
The book of Joshua chronicles God’s continuing faithfulness to fulfill His covenant promises to Abraham. It is a book of transitions, in which Joshua rises to leadership and the people of God step across the Jordan into the long-awaited land of promise. The task of possessing the land will test the limits of their strength and their courage, but God’s covenant will not fail them. And Joshua’s faithful example will whisper toward the perfect faithfulness of Christ Himself.
In this 10-session, verse-by-verse study of the book of Joshua, Jen Wilkin helps us see how God’s commands, though sometimes difficult, are always rooted in His steadfast love for His people. Israel’s story is our story. We battle not against flesh and blood as they did, but we courageously war against the temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil, trusting in the finished work of the true and better Joshua, Jesus Christ.
