Women’s Ministries at Shawnee Hills Baptist Church exists to edify and encourage the women of our church and to create opportunities to evangelize women in our surrounding communities with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Please consider the opportunities included on this website. It is our prayer that you will be involved in at least one of them and that we will enjoy the blessings and fellowship of growing in Christ together.

Ministries available for Women:

Building Faithful Friendships (BFF)

We need one another! Being part of a local church family means building a community environment that allows for authentic and vulnerable relationships where we can bear one another’s burdens and encourage one another. Building Faithful Friendships (BFF) is a ministry designed to help us do just that.

Throughout the year, we plan events for women of all ages (college and older) to come together, have some fun, and get to know others better in a casual atmosphere. Feel free to invite family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers who you want us to get to know as well. Be watching for dates and specific opportunities to connect with us!

Come when you can, leave when you need to, but you will be blessed at BFF.

Widows Watchcare: This ministry exists to encourage widows by

  • making a monthly phone call and/or sending a note
  • making a personal visit every 2-3 months
  • finding out if there are household needs (maintenance, repair, cleaning, etc.)
  • finding out if there are transportation needs (to church, doctor appointments, etc.)
  • finding other ways to show care and compassion

Titus Two

This one-on-one discipleship ministry equips older women to embrace their God-given role to train younger women. The heartbeat of Titus Two is to encourage one another through Bible study, prayer, accountability, and friendship.
