"A gracious woman gains honor." ~Proverbs 11:16a
We are delighted to extend a warm invitation to all women seeking a nurturing community where faith flourishes, service abounds, and bonds are formed that last a lifetime.
The HBC Women's Ministry is dedicated to fostering spiritual growth through a variety of enriching activities. From Bible studies and prayer groups to workshops and retreats, we provide opportunities for women to deepen their relationship with God and each other. Whether you're a seasoned believer or just beginning your spiritual journey, there's a place for you here to grow and thrive.
Service is at the heart of our ministry. We believe in putting our faith into action by serving those in need within our church family, local community, and beyond. Whether it's volunteering, collecting needed items, or participating in mission trips, we are committed to making a positive difference in the world around us.
But it's not all about serious business here! We also value the importance of recreation and fellowship. Our ministry offers a range of fun activities where women can come together to relax, unwind, and build lasting friendships. Together, let's grow in faith, serve with love, and enjoy the blessings of sisterhood in Christ.
