First Methodist Houston Women’s Ministry is a group that helps women stay connected to God, build relationships, and grow in faith. If you are interested in joining our ministry please do not hesitate to email us on how you can join and be apart of our church family. We have several groups and activities you can be a part of in the women’s ministry.

Book Club

Women come together on the first Wednesday of each month in homes to discuss a book that has been selected at least one month in advance.  

DIVAS (Divinely Inspired Victorious and Serving)

Meeting on Zoom on Mondays @ 4:00 pm 

In-depth Bible study with study guides and lively discussion.  Mission-minded with a focus on service beyond the church walls.  Open to women of all ages. 

Prayer Shawl Ministry

This small group of ladies from both campuses serve the Lord by sharing their talent of crocheting (and knitting) shawls to give to those in need. Although this project can be done at home, periodic meetings and classes are available to get you started and maintain your interest.
