Welcome, Sister! I’m so glad you’re here. My prayer is that in the coming tabs you will get a glimpse of Women’s Ministry at Fellowship and how you might get connected with what God is doing here. You are important and your story matters and we’d love to invite you to journey with us as we celebrate what only God can do in the lives of the Sisterhood.
I’ve been serving as the Women’s Minister since the Fall of 2020, after God uprooted my husband and I from Florida after serving 11 years in Christian Higher Education. Entering into church ministry during the pandemic (not to mention being newly married) made for an interesting transition period but the Lord’s faithfulness, goodness, and calling over my life sustained me in the unknowns.
When I first arrived at Fellowship, I found it challenging to find “my place”—a place where I felt known and loved. So, my desire is that you might be able to find your place in Women’s Ministry. I get it, I know it’s not easy. Sometimes you have to be the one to initiate conversation, ask a lady to coffee, or step out of our comfort zone and attend an event but I want to encourage you that it’s worth the risk. God designed us to be in community, and we desire to provide a safe and welcoming place for you to be able to do just that. I’m sure we can swap stories of how we’ve experienced church hurt and friendship hurt but my prayer is that you will continue to press into following after Jesus and walk in obedience.
We offer some really wonderful ministry opportunities in Women’s Ministry but can I let you in on a little secret? We don’t and can’t do it all—we can’t meet every one of your needs or desires (though we may try). We can’t be the Savior only Jesus can. My desire is that we point you to Jesus who is the only one who can ultimately quench your thirst. Sister, You Belong Here. Welcome Home!
Blessings,
Karie Farley
Women's Minister
