The Women’s Ministry of First Baptist Norfolk exists to glorify God by reaching, teaching, and encouraging the women of our church and Hampton Roads. Our ministry is designed to help women connect to one another in settings where they can build meaningful relationships with other women as they come to faith in God, grow in Christian maturity, and live out their faith by service to others. Our mission is to provide opportunities for women to grow in their faith as they make friends who can encourage them on their journey with God. Our Bible studies, LIFEgroups, encouragement groups, mission groups, community ministries, and special events are planned with the needs of women in mind! Many of our ministries provide wonderful programs for preschool age and homeschooled children. Our desire is for women to Love God, Love Others, and Live the Mission!

April Sawyer is the Director of Women’s Ministry at Charleston Southern University, where she has the joy of walking alongside students, staff, and faculty women as they learn to follow Jesus in the middle of real life. A Bible teacher, writer, and graduate of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, April is passionate about helping women know the God who comes close and recognize His faithfulness in their own stories. She is married to Adam and is mom to Maggie and Thomas, who keep her laughing, humbled, and very aware of her need for Jesus (and coffee). She loves gathering women around tables, asking good questions, and creating spaces where we can drop the polished answers, bring our mess and chaos with us, and discover that God meets us right there in the middle of it. April will be the first to tell you she doesn’t have it all figured out—but she deeply loves Jesus, believes our stories matter, and can’t wait to spend the weekend learning, laughing, and looking for the fingerprints of God alongside you.
