WOMEN'S MINISTRY

WHO WE ARE

Some of the most important things in life happen

when women gather together.

United Women in Faith at First United Methodist Church Waxahachie is a place where women of all ages and all stages of life come to connect, grow, and support one another. We laugh together, pray together, dig into scripture together, and show up for each other in the everyday moments that matter most.

We believe faith grows richer in community — and that every woman who walks through the door brings something the rest of us need.

MINISTRIES

Through our women's ministry program at FUMC, we connect and nurture women through Christian spiritual formation, leadership development, creative fellowship, and education so they can inspire, influence, and impact local and global communities. United Women in Faith is the umbrella organization that houses all our Women's Ministry programs and events. For information about the national movement, click the link below.

United Women in Faith

Rooted Women's Ministry creates space specifically for women in their 20s and 40s. We host monthly gatherings built around friendship, faith, and real conversation. And as part of the wider United Women in Faith community, we also bring together women of every generation who want a place to belong and a community to call their own.

SEPTEMBER

Women's Bible Study

September 9 - November 4, 2026, 6 - 7:30 pm

Join us once again for a Women's Bible Study led by the dynamic duo of Peggy and Kim!  This fall, the group is reading Luke in the Land: Walking with Jesus in His First Century World, by Kristi McLelland.

The four written Gospels describe Jesus's time on earth: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The Land-the place Jesus walked and taught during His earthly ministry-is often referred to as the 'fifth Gospel'. The land speaks in its own way and reveals a deeper understanding of the life of Christ.

Through seven sessions revealing snapshots from the Gospel of Luke, join Kristi McLelland to explore the fifth Gospel together. Challenge the way you read the accounts of Jesus in video teaching sessions that take you to locations in Israel like Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee, Gethsemane, Jerusalem, and the road to Emmaus. See how Jesus brought true hope to the world by following His footsteps in the Gospel of Luke.

The group begins on September 9th and will meet every Wednesday from 6:00 to 7:30 pm through November 4th.
