Thank you for your interest in Women’s Ministry!
We hope to have a chance to visit with you in person very soon. Our Women’s Ministry exists for reaching, teaching, encouraging, and empowering women to impact others with their God-given potential. We believe that as our lives become connected, we will grow stronger in our faith with our Lord Jesus Christ and each other.
Our Bible Studies, programs and events are planned with your needs in mind. We desire to encourage women no matter what season of life they are in. There is a place for you at FBC Texarkana. May the Lord’s plan for your life be accomplished during our journey together.
“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good.” - Psalm 35:8a
