Women’s Ministry
As women, we desire to be rooted in the Word, to pursue intentional spiritual growth, to share the gift of authentic friendship, and to serve the Lord wholeheartedly as we engage our church and community.
Enfold + Encourage + Equip + Engage
Our Women’s Ministry exists to enfold, encourage, equip, and engage women as we grow together in Christ. We seek to build a God-centered community where women feel welcomed and deeply connected, are encouraged in every season of life, equipped with practical skills and biblical truth, and engaged in meaningful service within our church and community. Whether you are longing for authentic friendships or a deeper walk with the Lord, we invite you to join us as we wholeheartedly serve Him and share life together.
FAQ’s
Is there childcare provided for the events?
Currently, we do not offer childcare during our events or Bible study.
I’m new to the church, how can I get connected?
Welcome! We would love to meet you. The best you can do is to reach out to our Women’s Ministry Director Richele Schaffer at womensministry@fbczeeland.org
Do I need to be a member of the church to attend?
Not at all! Our doors are open. Whether you’ve been a member for decades or have never stepped foot in a church before, you are welcome here.
What does a typical Bible study look like?
Our Bible studies are designed to be both engaging and life-giving. Because we believe the whole Bible is true and transformative, we dive deep into the Word of God together, finding practical wisdom and strength for our daily lives. Homework can vary week to week, but is always manageable.
How can I use my gifts to serve the team?
We believe every woman has a unique gift to offer! Whether you love hospitality, enjoy leading prayer, have a knack for organization, or want to help with event setup, we have a place for you. Contact Richele via email or chat with any of our team members at an upcoming event to see where you might fit in.
