First Baptist Church Longview

Women's Ministry

In the tapestry of a thriving church community, the inclusion of gender-specific ministries enriches the overall spiritual experience. At First Baptist Church Longview (FBC Longview), we firmly believe in fostering an environment where individuals can continuously grow in their "Passion for Jesus, Compassion for People, to bring about transformation for all." One significant aspect of this growth involves encouraging women to take intentional "Next Steps" through our dedicated women's ministries. Join us on this journey as we explore the profound importance of women's ministry at FBC Longview.

Small Group Gatherings

Connect 4

Connect 4 is more than just a connection; it's an opportunity to build meaningful relationships with a select group of women who will inspire, support, and pray for each other. This six-month commitment involves meeting for an hour and a half at various locations such as coffee shops, restaurants, parks, or even the church building. Participants gather once a month to engage in discussions around five thought-provoking questions, creating a space for genuine connection, laughter, and shared experiences. This exclusive time is dedicated to fostering accountability and camaraderie among women, providing a break from daily routines without the presence of kids or spouses. Join Connect 4 and experience the joy of building lasting connections across generations.
