Welcome to Women's Ministry    

There are many seasons of life.  Some of us can’t wait to get to the next season, or phase, of our life…while others wish their current season would never end.  As women, we all have one thing in common, though, no matter what season of life we’re in…we all want to be connected to someone as we journey through life. 

The GBC Women's Ministry has been designed to meet the needs of women - just like you - through all seasons of life as you journey with Christ.  Whether you are looking for friendship in the sunny seasons of life, or encouragement and support for the cloudy seasons, the journey is better when you are connected! 

The women’s ministry at Greenwood is a vibrant, engaging group of women from all seasons of life. We encourage you to pray about where God would have you be involved and get connected with this exciting ministry.  "I want their hearts to be encouraged and joined together in love, so that they may have all the riches of assured understanding, and have the knowledge of God's mystery - Christ.  In Him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden."  Colossians 2:2-3

There is a place for YOU and we look forward to joining you to make an impact on our community for Christ!

/files/Carrie/His Healing Hands.jpg  His Healing Hands   We all need a comforting hand during seasons of grief.  When that hand is offered with the love and comfort of Christ, it helps us walk through the grieving process.   Whether you want to share or rather listen...need a hug or need someone to lift you up in prayer when you just don't seem able to do so yourself...this group is for you.  Join this ongoing group, led by someone who personally understands this journey, and discover that you are no longer alone -and that God does have a plan for your future.                                                                                                                   Contact ~ Connie Bunn
