Christy Dyer-Gultom and Liz Parkhurst share their perspective on the value of living in community with other women. The 1st Pres Women’s Ministry is a Word-based, relationally-oriented ministry which exists to serve and help equip the women of our church to grow in their knowledge of God, live to His glory, and extend His kingdom in their lives, homes, church, communities and throughout the world in a way that complements and supports the vision of First Pres. By God’s grace we strive to do this through Bible studies and fellowship gatherings.
