Womens Ministry
The vision of this ministry is to love women into a relationship with Jesus Christ by offering opportunities for spiritual growth and service, while developing authentic relationships. Hixson UMC's women's ministry is also a way to bring all of the existing women’s programs together under one umbrella, so that we can work together to grow in Christ and to glorify Him. Some of our activities are going to be fun and light hearted, and some are going to be more spiritually enriching. If are interested in joining a group or would like more information, please contact Jim Lewis at the church office or by email.
