It is our goal to provide opportunities for women to grow in their faith in God, to become apart of a community of compassion and grace, and to discover ways to serve God by ministering locally and globally to others. The three components of our ministry are Mission Education, Spiritual Growth, and Special Events.
MISSION EDUCATION
There are 5 mission circles for women. These groups meet monthly to learn about missions and to participate in hands-on projects. All circles welcome new members. Kathy Jollay, Missions Coordinator is available to help you find the right circle for you (770) 925-9493.
Day Groups
