Presbyterian Women
Involving almost 300 women, five specific groups meet monthly and conduct Bible studies, book studies, service, and fellowship at church or in private homes. Additionally, special events such as Ladies of the Church Oyster Roast, Ladies’ Luncheon, and an annual conference to Montreat are peppered throughout the year. Whether you are looking to grow spiritually, make stronger connections within our congregation, or perhaps both, Presbyterian Women is a wonderful place to start.

Men of the Church
This is a small group for men who want to grow in friendship and faith. The group will meet each Thursday morning from 7:45am to 8:45am at the Cape Fear Club, located at 206 Chestnut Street in downtown Wilmington. Gentlemen gather for breakfast, fellowship, and a weekly scripture reading. All are welcomed and encouraged to join us for delicious food and thoughtful discussion.
Knitting Ministry
Did you know that FPC has a Knitting Ministry? Well, we do! Our mission is to knit/crochet baby blankets, Pocket Prayer Shawls, and prayer shawls for the congregation. We also knit/crochet face cloths, hats, and scarves for the Good Shepherd Shelter.
We are a small but growing group who encourage all levels to join us – even those who never picked up knitting needles – we will teach you and encourage you each click of the way! Our group meets the second Wednesday of each month in the church parlor at 1:30pm. Please consider adding your talents to our mission.
Women on Wednesdays
Women on Wednesdays is a Bible study group that provides an opportunity for women of our church to study the Bible, grow in faith, and connect with one another. Through books and study guides, we share in expanding our faith formation, enjoying lively discussions and fellowship in a supportive environment.
Join us this fall in person or by Zoom starting Wednesday, September 16th from 10:30am – 11:30am as we delve into Praying the Names of God by Ann Spangler. Names of the ancient world did more than simply distinguish one person from another. They often conveyed the essential nature and character of a person. This is especially true when it comes to the names and titles of God recorded in the Bible. In our time together, we will examine the biblical and cultural context of the names and titles used for God and share in discussions that will enlighten us in our search for a deeper relationship with God.
Please contact Laura Tingelstad for more information about the various fellowship opportunities and how to become involved.
