ABW is a national organization whose mission is to provide vision, training, and resources to women and girls in American Baptist churches.

Core Values

Our ministry is based on certain non-negotiable values that form a foundation and criteria for all that we do.

We provide Christ-centered ministries.

We strive for excellence in all we do.

We practice faithful stewardship.

We are relevant for women today.

We assure that our diversity as a denomination is represented in our ministries.

We affirm and encourage the use of spiritual gifts.

We recognize the worth of all women and girls.

We value our American Baptist family relationships.

We have four ABW ministries at our church that are designed for women adults of all ages:

Faith Circle meetings are held at 1pm on the second Monday of each month.
Friendship Square meets at 7pm on the second Tuesday of each month.
Mary Circle is currently reforming their meeting day/times.
Ruth Circle meetings are held at 7pm on the second Monday of each month.

Why do I attend First Baptist Church of Lawrence?

I attend FBC because of the spiritually educating atmosphere. I first came with my parents, but was never motivated to leave. The friendly and welcoming faces have become almost a parallel to a family, and are welcoming to those coming for the first or 1000th time.

We love God, love people, and serve the world.
