Our vision, our desire, is to guide women closer to the heart of God, and while pursuing their relationship with Abba, they will discover His extraordinary plan to live abundant and gratifying lives! We aim to engage, encourage, and enrich the lives of women all ages through Bible study, fun gatherings, special events, and intentional discipleship.

Latest News...
Ladies, we are so excited to share some upcoming news & plans we have for you all! Let's just jump in...
1. Upcoming Events
Go here to find a calendar for the next several months (August 2023 - April 2024). As you'll see, we've incorporated some fun fellowship times this year. Yes, we heard y'all! :) As the dates draw near, we will send out more detailed information. Some will have sign-ups (e.g. craft nights) & some won't (e.g. dinners). Let us make this clear, you are FREE to invite your friends/family members to ANY of our events! Matter of fact, we WANT you to! Especially those who are unchurched or unbelievers! Use these as an opportunity to reach out!
2. Advent Study
If you would like to partake in an advent study, here is one that someone on the Women’s Ministry Team suggested: https://thedailygraceco.com/products/good-news-great-joy-an-advent-study-on-the-power-and-perfection-of-jesus
It is a 4-week study so go ahead & order if you’re interested. Let us know what you think if you try it out!
3. Christmas Party
Our Christmas Party will be on December 12 at 6:00 in the Fellowship Hall. Make plans to attend! We’ll be playing another game with a little swapping of gifts. Trust us, it won’t be nearly as confusing as it was last year (haha!), but it will be just as fun (& humorous)! So be on the look-out for an ornament (we want to say $5 or less but this inflation has us like 🥴 so don’t spend too much & try to stay in the less than $10 range, please).
4. My One Word
Our January fellowship is going to be soooo good! You can actually begin preparing for it now. What do you need to do, you ask? Go ahead & start praying about the person you would like to be, the qualities you’d like to have, the character traits you desire…all the things you KNOW you need to focus on in order to live a life that is honoring and glorifying God daily. He will reveal things to you, so, get ready!
5. Service Opportunities
We are on the lookout for an opportunity to serve our community. If you know of something that the ladies from our church can do together, let us know!
We are so looking forward to spending time with you all! As always, contact us with any questions, comments, or prayer requests. We find it an honor and joy to stand in the gap for you.
Much love,
Your Women's Ministry Team
The Forum...
What is The Forum?
Our forum will be a place where women can share their life experiences and unleash the healing power of God’s “hesed” as we find ways to respond to sisters in crisis. Our hope is that during our monthly forum, sisters will form deep, intimate relationships with their fellow sisters in Christ and ultimately find freedom from the unrealistic demands of the world’s “perfect” woman.
Our next meeting will be announced soon.
We NEED Your Input!
Let us know what you'd like to get on the calendar for women's ministry. Maybe another craft night (if so, give us some ideas!), a Bible study, hiking adventure, or...? Let us know your thoughts! Email us @ fbccochranwomen@gmail.com
