The First Missionary Baptist Church
of Redlands has a variety of programs and activities geared especially
for women. Current ladies programs include:
Ladies Auxiliary
Ladies Evening Bible Study
Movers & Shakers
In addition, a ladies class is offered
Sunday mornings at 9:45 am. (along with a variety of other Sunday School
classes for adults and children alike)
Although activities may vary within
these groups, the overall purpose is the same throughout all of them. As
a ministry of FMBC Redlands, our goals are to:
- carry out the Commission given by Jesus Christ to His New Testament
churches, to carry the gospel to every creature, baptizing them and
teaching them from the Word of God. (Matthew 28:18-20)
- further the spiritual growth of
the ladies in the church. (II Peter 3:18, Ephesians 4:14-15, Titus 2:3-5)
- develop close fellowship between
the ladies of the church, furthering the unity within the church body
overall. (I Thessalonians 5:12, Romans 12:4-5)
- receive encouragement, strengthening,
counsel and comfort that comes from being with God’s people. (Romans
12:15, Hebrews 10:24-25)
The Ladies Auxiliary comes together
each week to study God’s Word and have prayer.
(The Ladies Auxiliary meets every Wednesday at 10:00 am at the church.) Currently, the
ladies are studying God's
Plan For Woman.
On the 2nd Wednesday of each month
following the Bible study, the ladies enjoy a luncheon together in honor
of the birthdays that fall within the month.
The last Wednesday of each month
is the monthly business meeting at which the ladies discuss and make
decisions about the activities that will be carried out by the Ladies
Auxiliary. The following are just a few of the activities/projects
the ladies are involved in:
- Support/encouragement through cards,
gifts and prayers for a particular Pastor’s wife or Missionary’s wife
that is in need of these.
- Secret Pal Program
- Wedding/baby showers
- Honor Pastor & his wife on special
occasions and holidays
- Honor high school graduates
- Monthly support for the young men
that have left to attend seminary
- Cards and visits to encourage the
sick and elderly members

The “Movers & Shakers” are a group
of women that want to make a real difference in their lives for the
Lord. The members of this group have committed to God and each other
to follow the Lord in their individual lives, in their families, church
and every facet of life. The “Movers & Shakers” acknowledge their accountability
to the Lord, to their husbands, the church body and one another and
strive to carry out the Lord’s work through His church and to conform
to His will in their lives.
