Women's Ministries

What is SBW? The ministry of Shawnee Baptist Women consists of personal development through service to church, community, and missions. SBW offers opportunities for women to relate to each other in a uniquely female way to deepen our faith, serve our church family, and be involved in mission outreach. SBW also provides social opportunities for the women of FBC to get to know one another better as well as organizing church-wide events such as the Bean Supper and Ice Cream Social. SBW hosts an annual women’s retreat at Tall Oaks Conference Center each September. You are always welcome to invite your friends to join you in any of these activities.

Bible Studies

Bible Study Fellowship:
Our church hosts a Bible Study Fellowship in our building every school year. All women are invited to attend each Wednesday morning from 9:10 - 11:10 a.m. Opening exercises start in the church sanctuary. A children's program is provided for preschool age children. First-timers are asked to come on the first Wednesday of the month. For registration information, contact Heidi Langford.

Drawing Closer Women’s Bible Study
This Women’s Bible Study meets on Wednesday evenings in Fellowship Hall from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. It is a great opportunity to meet and get to know other women in the church of all ages, as we study and share God’s Word together. This year we will be working through the books of 1 & 2 Corinthians. We are so excited to see what God is going to do in each of our lives as we discover new truths and remember old ones. These two books are so full of amazing teachings, corrections, and encouragements as we become thoroughly equipped for every good work. We know each lady will be blessed. Nursery is provided but please call ahead of time to let us know your needs. Barbara Huddleston teaches the study and Becky Brooks takes care of administrative details. We are looking forward to another year of drawing closer to each other and to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
