Our vision for First Free Women is to encourage women in their pursuit of Jesus Christ. Our goal is to help women live out the mission of First Free: to Glorify God through honoring His name, teaching His Word, loving His people, and expanding His Kingdom. Jo Coltrain, as Director of Women's Ministries, lends leadership to our current leadership team. This team meets twice monthly to study scripture, pray, and plan with purpose for First Free Women. Our desire is that we might be a model to other women as we enjoy our relationship with God together and as we relate to one another as sisters in Christ who desire to glorify God.
Contact Jo Coltrain with questions about our Women's Ministry.
