Women's Ministry

Women's ministry at Faith seeks to support women in all walks of life, offering spiritual support and guidance through Bible study, prayer, and worship. We also try to provide natural supports through meals when necessary, bridal and baby showers, and occasional special activities such as retreats, teas, and other events designed to help women connect with one another. Our congregation embodies a variety of women, from all walks of life. Our desire is not to take women away from their responsibilities, but to equip them to walk in confidence with others because of their connection to Christ and one another.

Personal relationships are very important to us at Faith, and we believe that honest, transparent sharing of our lives combined with prayer, is the foundation of spiritual growth. Believing that most of us have lives that are busy and complex, we try not to overload schedules with lots of activities, but choose instead to offer quality activities but fewer of them. We welcome any and all who wish to experience the transforming power of friendships in Christ, or merely to investigate what life at Faith is all about.

Wednesday mornings we will have 2 studies going on at the church. Sept 15-Dec 8 at 9:15-11:15. Childcare is available for $10 per child for the semester.

"The Amazing Collection", a video Bible study, taught book by book, will be led by Julie Coonrod. This study gives the big picture of God's love letter to us in addition to a timeless principle of application from each book. This fall we will go from Genesis to 2 Kings. For more information on this study go to www.theamazingcollection.com.

"Abba's Child" by Brennan Manning will be led by Carol Lemmons. This book helps us look at our true identity as God's child-Abba's child-and helps us to experience His pure pleasure in who we are. Brennan Manning encourages readers to let go of the impostor lifestyle and freely accept our belovedness as a child of the heavenly Father.

On Thursday evenings every other week at 6:30 a group of ladies gathers to do a study. This is facilitates by Wanda Klozenbucher. That study is yet to be determined, but has typically been a Beth Moore study.  It is a good time of fellowship and accountability.

Tuesdays from 12-1 every other week, a group will gather at the First United Methodist Church to study the book of John. No specific study book is used, just get together to talk over the scriptures and encourage and pray for one another. We appreciate the generosity of the Methodist church in letting us use their central location.

You can sign up for a study by calling the church office at (776-2086) or you can sign up online at http://www.faithmanhattan.org/ministries/lifegroups/lgsignup.php. We pray you will grow in your life with Christ through these opportunities.
