WELCOME TO WoMIN AT THE FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF MOORESVILLE
"WoMIN" defines the ministry opportunities at FPCM that serve to encourage women to flourish in their relationship with Christ and to live out His call on our lives...to love God with all our heart, mind, and soul and to love our neighbor well.
WAYS TO ENGAGE
As you navigate this page you will find a variety of ways for women to engage. Whether it be in spiritual nurture, connection and fellowship,
or in serving with your unique talents and gifts, our desire is that you will find a place in the life of the FPCM family to flourish in Christ and for His Kingdom!
TRENDING NOW....HOLIDAY TEA AND BRUNCH HIGHLIGHT
On Saturday, Nov. 16th, women of all ages and stages, from our church community and beyond, gathered together to
prepare our hearts in a beautiful way for the season ahead.
It was a delight to see women use their gifts "in action". Gifts of hospitality, creativity, and generosity were evident,
and all were used to the glory of God!
This year we were delighted to feature our keynote guests-
Jordin Camacho-Greer, Sarah Nelson, and Amy Hamilton.
All three of these incredible women, who also are married to members of our pastoral staff,
have distinct giftings that they use to follow the call the Lord has placed on their lives to serve Him in ministry.
(We are truly blessed here at FPCM!) Each shared her unique story of how Christ’s work in
her life has truly been the greatest gift and what it means when Jesus said in John 10:27,
"My sheep will listen to my voice: I know them, and they follow Me."
If you were unable to attend this year's event, we highly encourage you to join us next year for both
our 2025 Spring Women's Gathering as well as our 3rd Annual Holiday Tea!
CONNECTION and FELLOWSHIP and SPIRITUAL NURTURE
There are a variety of opportunities for women to gather in community with one another at FPCM.
WoMIN small group ministries provide an opportunity for women to gather on a regular basis for friendship, fellowship, and spiritual nurture.
These groups vary according to their "affinity" or, more simply put...based the needs they meet, the purpose they serve, or even commonality in life stage.
The following groups are some, but certainly not all, of the ways you can become involved. Be sure to check out our entire website!
NEW Bible Study for 2024-25
Just for women,
Saturdays@7:15 began on Saturday, April 6th, with the goal to engage women to read through the entirety of the Bible together. The study to be used is The Bible Recap (“TBR”) with Tara-Leigh Cobble. It is a 365-day chronological through-the-Bible reading plan.
Saturdays@7:15 encourages women to develop individual spiritual disciplines, further build into the community of women at FPC Mooresville, and grow more in love with our God
who reveals Himself through His Word.
Even though Saturdays@7:15 is underway, the next session will begin in January 2025. An invitation is extended to all women to join us for the Spring study of the New Testament.
This study is led by Denise Tidball. For more information, please contact her via the church office.
Women's Circles

Our Holiday Tea and Brunch , "COME AND SEE", was a wonderful time of gathering and being
reminded this season that it is Christ, whose birth we celebrate,
who provides hope for renewal in our hearts and lives!

Craftsman's Daughter
One of the dear women who shared her inspiring ministry with us went to be with the Lord in August 2023 after battling ALS.
We are reminded of these words in Scripture -
"....we grieve, but not as those who have no hope..."
1 Thess. 4:13
