Women's Ministry is the Women's group at First Christian Church, Wadsworth. All women of the church are automatically part of Women's Ministry, even if they are not official members of the church. To better understand our purpose, please see our Mission Statement.

The Women's Ministry Team is Laurie Thomas (Team Leader), Julie Pels Schmidt, Dawn Holt, Becky Hochstetler, Michelle Mann, Brenda Muich, Susan Ritzman and Karen Rule. The staff liaisons are Rev. Nancy Dunn & Peggy Rowe.

Is there a topic you would love to study with Women's Ministry? Have you heard about a Bible Study that sounds interesting to you? We would LOVE to hear your suggestions!

You can make a suggestion on the Women's Ministry Facebook page (here); email Laurie Thomas, the Team Leader (here); or just tell anyone on the Women's Ministry Team (Laurie Thomas, Dawn Holt, Becky Hochstetler, Michelle Mann, Susan Ritzman or Karen Rule) in person!
