Women’s Ministry

Women’s Ministry at FPC is a grace-filled community of women from all seasons and walks of life. We share life’s joys and struggles in the context of how God is using every circumstance to mold us into Christ’s image. We would love for you to be a part of our community as we seek Christ and learn to serve and love God and each other well.

Opportunities for Moms

FPC Moms Ministry equips women to become more like Jesus as they grow in their love for Him, their children, and the community. Among the various mom groups at FPC, moms will thoughtfully engage the culture with a biblical and theological mindset, learning how to love like Jesus and live out the mission of Jesus in their parenting. We hope you will join moms from across the Houston area as we live this fun and chaotic season of life together. An added bonus? Every FPC moms group has mentor moms– moms who are a few seasons ahead of us, full of wisdom, humility, grace, and lots of fun! 

Tuesday Morning Group
Tuesdays | Begins Jan 23 | 8:15–9 AM | Living Room

Success, money, true love, and the life you’ve always wanted. Many of us place our faith in these things, believing they hold the key to happiness, but with a sneaking suspicion they might not deliver. There is only one God who can wholly satisfy our cravings—and now is the perfect time to meet Him again, or for the first time. Join other moms as we study how a proper understanding of the Bible reveals the unvarnished truth about societal ideals and our own hearts. Childcare Provided.

All Around Town Group
Tuesdays | Begins Jan 23 | 7:45-9 PM | Online or In Person*

We become our habits. And our kids become us. This is why carefully choosing the habits of our household is one of the most significant things we can do for our children’s spiritual formation (and our own). Habits are the little patterns we fall back on when we don’t realize we’re falling back on anything. But just because they are little doesn’t mean they aren’t incredibly spiritually important.  Join other moms as we use Habits of the Household by Justin Whitmel Earley to explore the ways that waking, mealtimes, moments of discipline, playtime, bedtime, and more can all be moments of incredible spiritual formation, for our children and ourselves. For this study, we will be using a new format. We will meet in person as an entire group once a month and then for the remainder of the month we will break into small groups.

Wednesday Morning KDO Group
Wednesdays | Begins Jan 24 | 9:15-10:30 AM | Living Room

We become our habits. And our kids become us. This is why carefully choosing the habits of our household is one of the most significant things we can do for our children’s spiritual formation (and our own). Habits are the little patterns we fall back on when we don’t realize we’re falling back on anything. But just because they are little doesn’t mean they aren’t incredibly spiritually important. In fact, probably the most significant things about our household are the ordinary rhythms we call normal. Join other moms as we use Habits of the Household by Justin Whitmel Earley to explore the ways that waking, mealtimes, moments of discipline, playtime, bedtime, and more can all be moments of incredible spiritual formation, for our children and ourselves.
