Tuesday morning (9:00-10:30am), Wednesday night (6:00-7:30pm), and Thursday night via Zoom (6:00-7:30pm). The Fall Study will be video-driven: When You Pray: A Study of Six Prayers of the Bible. Please join a Bible study class and grow spiritually with other women in our church.
Heartfelt Friends
Heartfelt Friends is for women of all ages and stages – from 18 to 108! Based on Titus 2, older women (“moms”) host and mentor the younger women (“sisters”) in a comfortable home setting once a month to build meaningful relationships and encourage spiritual growth. Join us to develop faith friendships that will last through joyful times as well as struggles.
Come home.. Bring your hearts… to Hearfelt Friends!
Support Ministry
All of us have spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional needs. As Christians, we have the help of the Lord, the truth of His Word, and the support of other believers to face some of life’s greatest challenges. First Fairhope Women will seek to support ladies facing crises, connecting them with other Christian women who can relate to their challenges and give them hope in Jesus.
Welcome Ministry
First Fairhope Women wants to be intentional in helping newcomers to our church and community feel warmly welcomed and get involved immediately. Volunteer to greet guests/prospective and/or new members, help them find ways to grow in their faith and get involved in our church, write notes of welcome, share gifts with new members, and greet ladies at special events.
Prayer Ministry
Gather with ladies weekly to pray at these different times:
Monday: 11:30am – 12:30pm in WC102
1st & 3rd Tuesday: 6:30pm in the home of a church member. Contact the church office for more information.
Thursday: 12:30pm – 1:30pm in WC102
Share prayer requests in the Prayer Boxes located around the church, the First Fairhope Women Facebook page or contact the church office.
Moms Ministry
Mothers are the nurturers in the home and have such influence over their children and families, but they need support and encouragement along the way. Moms of younger children have informal meetings on Wednesday nights at 6:00pm sharing life with other mothers in our church and community.
Missions
First Fairhope Women wants all women of our church to be witnesses in our community and beyond and to be missional in our homes and beyond. Participate in the WMU’s Women on Mission group, connect with First Hope or the Missions Committee, use your gifts with the Hearts for God Sewing Ministry, serve on mission trip teams, volunteer with the Women’s Care Medical Center, and more. Be a part of our evangelistic outreach and mission endeavors.
Hospitality
Biblical hospitality communicates God’s love and helps women connect with other women. This ministry will seek to engage members of the church in the various ongoing ministries
and special events of First Fairhope Women in addition to helping visitors meet other women who can encourage them in their faith.
Special Events
First Fairhope Women hosts several special events throughout the year to provide opportunities for fellowship, worship, and outreach. Various types of celebrations with different purposes are designed to involve women of all ages and stages of life. Plan to attend and invite an unchurched friend!
