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 on May 20th, our women will be walking through the study, “How to Read the Bible.” This RightNow Media video study is hosted by Jennie Allen, Jo Saxton, and Bianca Juarez Olthoff. No book is required, as packets will be provided by the study leader.
“Does the Bible feel too intimidating and complex? Does understanding it feel impossible, so you don’t even try?
In this six-week study, we want to help you understand why the Bible is the greatest tool we have. We want to open your eyes to the way the Old Testament and New Testament connect and show you the purpose of each book of the Bible. Through this study, featuring teaching videos from Jennie Allen, Bianca Juárez Olthoff, and Jo Saxton, you will:
- Understand that the Bible is relevant for you here and now.
- Uncover what each of the books of the Bible is about and how they all connect.
- Discover a method to breaking down Scripture in order to better comprehend it.
- Have a new confidence in understanding the Bible and a hunger to know it more.”
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.
June - Heart to Hand
June 16th | 5:30pm | Bamberg Chapel
Join Cheryl for another evening of Heart to Hand. This is an evening of writing cards to a selected group that may need a little extra encouragement. If you have any particular cards or writing utensils you would like to use, please bring them! We will provide some cards and basic writing items.
July - Caffeine and Catch-Up
Stay tuned for a date and time!
Caffeine and Catch-Up is a time for ladies to gather in fellowship! We will meet at Covington Coffee on Hwy 90. Whether you want to try a new spot, meet someone new, or spend quality time with someone you haven’t seen in a while. This event is family-friendly and open to all ages.
*Each person is responsible for their own purchases.
August - Movie Night
August 7 | 6:00pm | Bamberg Chapel
We’re hosting our annual movie night! This year, we will be watching Cars for it’s 20th Anniversary! We will be hosting this night in Bamberg Chapel with the movie and some snacks! You are welcome to bring your own snacks or drinks, and to come dressed as comfy as you want (yes, PJs are acceptable!).
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.
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.
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!
