Women's Ministry at FBC Jackson

 

It is our desire that how and what we do in women’s ministry aligns with the mission laid out by our pastors: Making, maturing, and multiplying disciples who are rooted in the gospel, watered with the Word, and nurtured by the church – for the bearing of much fruit, for the good of all nations, and for the glory of God.

Women's ministry - Purpose

The purpose of women's ministry at First Baptist Church is to:

 

Women's ministry - Values

We seek to incorporate these values into opportunities and events for the women of First Baptist:

  • Provide opportunities for women to practice and exercise their gifts.
 
  • The Word of God (teaching, studying, equipping)
  • Practical living in light of scripture in our unique contexts
  • Intergenerational relationships (all ages and stages of life)
  • Connection to our missionary partners
  • Food, fun, and fellowship

Women's Events

 

Gatherings in the evening or on a Saturday morning provide an opportunity for food, fellowship, and learning from other women. These events typically focus on hearing from women within our own church body.

See topics from recent events.


Women's Retreats

 

During the winter, the women of First Baptist typically get away for an overnight retreat at the Linden Valley Baptist Conference Center for a time of worship, teaching, and fellowship.

See an overview of recent retreats.


Women's Conferences

 

As an alternative to getting away, conferences are periodically hosted at the church for the women of FBC.

See a list of recent conferences.
