The Well is the Women’s Ministry at First Woodway, and is a gathering place for women, college age and up, to grow deeper in our relationship with Jesus to create richer, more authentic connections with one another. We know that we live very full and busy lives, therefore our goal is to create a ministry fueled with intention and purpose. Every Life Group, prayer group, Bible study, retreat, service opportunity, and other events we offer will encourage you in your walk with Christ while also fostering genuine relationships with other women.
FLOURISH is a one-year mentoring program, helping women to stay rooted in God’s Word while learning from a woman who is in a different stage in her walk with Jesus. Through your FLOURISH journey you will build a trusted relationship with your mentor/mentee, explore what Scripture says about your identity, calling, prayer, gratitude, and other relevant topics, and learn to love and follow Jesus. Learn more by watching our video.
FLOURISH applications for 2024-25 have closed. Next year’s applications will open in the fall of 2025. Please contact Elizabeth Oates with any questions.
Just Moved | Tuesdays at 9:30 am | The Venue
Are you new to Waco? Welcome! We’re so excited to invite you to Just Moved, a powerful, hands-on class that uses Biblical principles alongside practical tools to navigate this new season of life. This is your chance to meet other women who are also new to the area and build lasting friendships. We gather every Tuesday morning in The Venue. Can’t make it this semester? No problem! We’ll kick off again in the fall. We can’t wait to meet you and walk alongside you on this journey! You can sign-up for this class here. (Class cost includes book and binder.) Our last meeting for the spring will be Apr 15.
The Dwelling | Mondays at 9:00 am | The Venue
The Dwelling is a place for moms with kids still living at home to gather in community. We meet on Monday mornings in The Venue to rest in God’s promises and be affirmed that His strength is made perfect in our weakness. The theme for the semester will be “Cut It Loose (And Leave It There!),” and we will be discussing things we need to get rid of to successfully navigate the stormy waters we call “life.” These anchors include Doubt, Fear, Anxiety, Guilt, and many others. What a joy it can be if we can successfully cut those anchors loose and leave them in the sea! Sign-up here for the spring semester. Our last meeting for the spring will be Apr 20.
