The First Family - Women's Ministry

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. ... Learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." - Jesus

The daily grind can grind the life out of women in today's society. Jesus understands. He offers the kind of enduring rest that will reach in to the very soul of a woman - and make her whole. The goal of our women's ministry is to establish a group of women who are sharing the love they have received from Jesus by mentoring, loving, and caring for the other women at First Family. Our "love for one another" will be the sign to our community that the First Family is a place where Love lives - and where wounded women can find a place of healing.
