Women’s Ministries at IBC exist to encourage women to worship our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ through the study and application of Scripture. We seek to provide biblically-grounded ministries to a wide demographic of women as we build one another up in the Word, foster strong friendships, rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. Our women’s ministries include:
- Seasonal Bible Studies: some exegetical, some topical
- Women’s Retreats
- September Sisters (mature women’s group)
- Prayer Ministry
- Fellowship Activities
- Showers for New Wives and Moms
- Grief Support for Widows
- Visitation of the Homebound
As you review the different growth opportunities, you’ll find that whether you are single or married, in every season of life, there is a spiritual home, service opportunities and sweet fellowship here for you!
Bible Studies
Bible studies are the heartbeat of our women’s ministry where we study the Word of God through a three-year rotation of the Old Testament, New Testament, and Biblical Womanhood. As we study together, we are reminded that “the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword” (Heb. 4:12) and able to grow us into Christlikeness in each of our unique seasons of life. To cultivate deep relationships and learn from one another, you will stay with the same group of ladies all year, then shuffle groups the next year to connect with new women. You are welcome to jump in at any time, and you will be warmly embraced by this loving, Christ-centered community. We offer both morning and evening meeting times to fit your schedule, and childcare is available during the Tuesday morning session. To join a group, click "Contact Us" below. Ladies ages 15+ are welcome to attend.
Titus 2-sday
Titus 2-sday is the combined gathering of our morning and evening Women’s Bible Studies, focusing on learning from each other about Biblical Womanhood. Meeting six times a year, each gathering features a rich time of fellowship designed to strengthen your faith and connect you with other women. Every Titus 2-sday includes sweet times of singing, a speaker teaching us about biblical womanhood, a personal testimony, a practical demonstration, and a delicious dessert. Ladies ages 15 and older are warmly invited to attend, and you can see our church calendar for upcoming dates and meeting times.
September Sisters
September Sisters is a group of mature women, loving, encouraging and supporting each other while focusing on serving the Lord. The September Sisters are in a season when a fruitful life is re-defining itself with new energy, new discretionary freedom to invest in meaningful relationships, and activities that serve our community and church family.
Some of the activities have included: after church lunches, walks, service projects, picnics, potlucks, and visiting the sick and home-bound sisters. Hebrews 10:23-25 expresses the goal to provide opportunities for women to build their faith, show God’s love, and develop strong relationships with other Christian women.
Women’s Retreat
Every other year, we have the opportunity to break away from our routine to refresh our spirit. Immanuel Bible Church has a history of five decades of women’s retreats!
