About Us
Women at First, under the direction of Jackie Clark, leads adult women, married or single, to serve their families, vocations, and the Kingdom with the servant heart of Christ. Women at First strives to teach the truths of God through Bible studies and other available avenues.
Throughout the year, Women at First provides various events to meet the unique spiritual needs of women. Some events are conducted on church campus, while others may be held at other venues.
MDWK
Join us on Wednesday nights for an all-women Bible Study. Starting August 12th, we will begin a 10-week study through the book of Revelations. We will be utilizing the book “Revelations” by Jen Wilkin.
“Perhaps no other book of the Bible feels as inaccessible and as intimidating to us as the very last one. The book of Revelation overflows with images and ideas that confound our modern ears. But if all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable, we should assume Revelation is as accessible and helpful as any other book of the Bible. Why don’t we see it that way?
Two thousand years ago, John’s Revelation was circulated and read aloud among seven churches in Asia Minor. Those who heard the letter understood it and drew encouragement from its message. The same can be true for you today. Over 10 sessions of verse-by-verse Bible study, Jen Wilkin helps you discover how the last book of the Bible—the culmination of God's great story—speaks both a steadying word of assurance and a strong call to endure to the church in every age.“
Workbooks are recommended for this study; they are available for purchase in the First Cup Bookstore for $20.
We meet in the downstairs of Building E, across from the elevator, at 6:00pm.

December - Christmas Party

Our annual Christmas Party is always a great time for fellowship and to go home with a new (maybe stolen *wink-wink*) ornament! We will be continuing the tradition of the Ornament Dirty Santa, in addition to other fun activities and fellowship time. Attendees are asked to bring a favorite holiday dish (appetizer, entree, or dessert to share with others. More details to come!

Women’s Fall Retreat
We hope you consider joining us for our Annual Women’s Retreat. Each Fall, we gather as a group of women for a time to refresh and reset. Our annual retreat is open to all ladies (middle school, high school, and all ages of adults). The retreat offers two ways to attend: overnight and day-pass. Pricing and registration details are available on the site linked at the button below.
For our 5th Annual Retreat, our theme will be following the church’s yearly focus: prayer. Our theme is “Her Unceasing Heart,” with a focal verse of 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.
SocialLight Events
The SocialLight is a style of event that allows for a community of women, no matter their background, season of life, or where they are in their faith journey, to gather together. We want to connect, grow, and shine the Light of Christ together. This style of events allows for women to gather for no-obligation, stress-free fellowship. We believe every woman has a light to shine, and together we shine brighter.
How They Work
Each event will have the date, time, location, and a Point of Contact posted on our website and on our social media. These will range from coffee meet-ups to sunset devotions at the beach to writing cards for those who need encouragement. Each time there is a SocialLight Event, a member of the Planning Team will be your point of contact for details.
September - Worship Night
September 6th | 5pm | Bamberg Chapel
Join us for a family Worship Night in Bamberg Chapel. This night is a time to worship in fellowship with others in our church family.

New Member Baskets
When there is a new female member of FBC Milton, the Women's Ministry provides a welcome basket. These baskets are created through donations.
This ministry is organized by Lauren Turner.
How can I help?
By donating items to be used! We have a list of suggested items that are commonly used and an Amazon list of items we have selected to remove the guessing-game. However, if you have unused items (similar to the ones on the lists or otherwise!) or see something that you think would be a great gift, we would love to receive it! You can send packages directly to the office, drop items off at the office, or contact a planning team member to get the donation to the right place.
Contact Lauren Turner through our LinkTree with any questions!
What are some suggested items?
- New tea towels
- Individually wrapped tea bags
- New devotional books
- Bible highlighters (small packs or a large pack to be broken into smaller bundles)
- Bible tabs
- Journals
- Prayer cards
- Any sort of inspirational Christian gift (small sized, think 8.5x5.5)
- Bookmarks
What about that Amazon list?
Great question! It is linked at this button! The items here are not meant to be a limitation, but an inspiration or even starting point. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us!
