Women's Ministry

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.

Leader: Juli Muchnick
Cost: $25 (includes two workbooks)
Childcare is available for this class, but must be preregistered.

What happens when your heart is divided, trying to follow God and the world at the same time? What happens in a nation when it is divided? What lessons can we learn for our lives today from the examples of Solomon, Rehoboam, Jeroboam, and Abijam? What does God do when His people trust their own judgment and disobey Him? The hearts of many of Israel's kings, as well as the people, were divided. Would God ever find anyone to serve Him like David? Would He ever find one whose heart was fully His? God says that we are to love Him with all of our heart. Is that really possible?

Life seems to move at a break-neck pace. Days are filled with noise, screens, and appointments. Sometimes worry and fear are constant companions. The chaos can leave you looking for a place to be still, but that resting spot always seems to be an elusive destination. Jesus offers a different kind of life. He offers peace. He is peace.

In this 7-session study on the Gospel of John, Melissa Spoelstra will encourage you to slow down and linger with the living Word. As a result, you'll grow in intimacy with Him and learn to live, serve, and rest in His peace.

Class begins Thursday, August 6th

SUNDAY NIGHT

Daniel Part Two - Kay Arthur

Sunday Evening   I   5:15-7:30 pm   I  Room 414
Leader: Joan Powell
Cost: $10

Does the turmoil in our times, the uprisings, and the spiritual decay of many have anything to do with the Book of Daniel? Daniel was a man who knew what God said about the end times. He focused on what God said, not the events of his own time. Therefore, he had an impact on the people that God placed in his life. How do you live as a Daniel in the crucial days in which you find yourself? How can you dare to be different? How do you get to know God Most High? The Book of Daniel has the answers.

Class begins Sunday, August 9th
