Women of Grace
Welcome to Women's Ministry at Grace Presbyterian Church! We are thrilled you stopped by our page!
Our goal is to create a space where each woman feels welcomed and cared for. Whether you need a soft place to land, or you're ready for an in-depth Bible study, or something in-between, we hope you'll find what you need for the season of life you're in.
We offer weekly Bible studies, support groups, and special events. Please feel free to reach out to Elizabeth Parker with any questions or comments.

Praying for our children

Moms In Prayer is an international group whose vision is that “every school in the world would be covered with prayer.” MIP helps moms (and grandmothers) in their local schools to pray for the children, teachers, staff, administration, and school board. They meet for one hour a week.
You may contact Elizabeth Parker for more information about an existing group or to start one for your school.
