First Ladies represents any woman at FBC. Our group is not defined by age or season of life. In fact, that is what makes our group so wonderful. We are young, midlife, older, married, single, and we desire a time to celebrate our lives together as Christian women.
Not only do we offer Bible studies throughout the year, we also meet quarterly for socials and coordinate retreats. Our desire is to build community among women at our church, form friendships and support each other through our relationship with Christ as our foundation.
