MISSION STATEMENT

The goal of Women’s Ministries of First Baptist Church Fair Oaks is to point women toward God, provide opportunities to put down deep spiritual roots while caring for one another and connecting with women of all ages and phases of life.

Life can be busy as we balance family, work and service. You’ll find refreshment and renewal through our special women's events, studying God's Word, and encouraging one another. We hope you will come share your life’s journey with others who also love Christ, each other and our community!

Visit our “Women of Fair Oaks” Facebook page, join the group and you will get notifications about upcoming events.

 UPCOMING EVENTS:

The Faithful: Heroes of the Old Testament

Borrowing from best-selling studies by Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer, Lisa Harper, Kelly Minter, and Jennifer Rothschild, this 6-session study explores crucial moments in the lives of five Old Testament figures—Esther, Gideon, Malachi, Nehemiah, and Hosea.

Through their stories, discover how God uses the lives of ordinary people for His glory and the good of His people. Strengthen your faith as you walk alongside these larger-than-life figures who all chose to obey God no matter the circumstances.
