Women's Ministry

Welcome to the Women’s Ministry of First Baptist Church Joelton!

Our mission is to reach women for Christ and mature them in their faith through prayer, Bible study and discipleship. It is also our desire to support the entire mission of our church.

The Women’s Ministry strives to:

• equip local church women to enrich the lives of other women through Christ
• help women discover their God-given gifts for ministry, determine needs in their communities, and match those needs with their gifts of service; and
• lead women to accept Christ as Lord, become women of deep prayer, and become women who study the Bible and base their lives on the Word of God.
  
  

UPCOMING EVENTS

• November 19 - A Name Above All Names - Come join us as Linda Carol Royalty leads us in a Bible study on the names of God. The event will be held in the Salt House from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m.
  
  
• INTERFACE - Last year we began a new women's ministry called INTERFACE: Women Mentoring Women. The goal of INTERFACE is to reach women who have a strong desire and commitment to study the Bible and serve along with other Christian women in our church. The program includes an intense personal Bible study coupled with practical living skills in small intimate group settings. It involves a 3-year commitment of two 12-week sessions per year. It is family friendly in that it will begin the last week of August and end in the middle of November. We do not resume meetings until the middle of January and end in April. Times of these meetings will be determined by the individual leaders, and child care will be provided. This is not a “drop by when you feel like it” Bible Study. Meetings are approximately 2 hours each week. The rewards of being personally accountable to someone else to be in the Word on a daily basis will be just one of the blessings we will get from this study. If you have a strong desire to know the Bible better, have a closer relationship with the Lord, and develop strong Christian friendships, we invite you to explore this unique way of studying God's Word. Registration for this fall's INTERFACE session is now closed. Watch for announcements regarding sign-up for the next session. For more information, you may contact Carol Ashford (876-8614), Pat Carroll (876-4705), Carolyn Ellis (931-358-3609) or Judy Wilkerson (299-9822).
  
  

ONGOING MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES

• HOPE CENTER - The Hope Center is a ministry of the Nashville Rescue Mission. It is a Biblically based 7 to 12-month residential recovery program for women suffering from alcohol and drug addictions or other life-debilitating problems. The Hope Center works together with a mother and her children or single women to build up spiritual, physical, mental and emotional strengths leading to more stable relationships and recovery. For the past seven years, the Women's Ministry of FBCJ has gone to the Hope Center on the 4th Thursday of each month to serve food and host a graduation party for the ladies who have graduated from that program. We provide food for approximately 50 women and gifts for each graduate. If you would like to know more about this ministry, contact Linda Carol Royalty at 876-4643 or Pat Carroll at 876-4705.
