Northbrook WomenOur church’s Women’s Ministry is a community of women helping women grow in the love of Jesus Christ. Inspired by the truth of 1 John 4:19, “We love because he first loved us,” we seek to nurture spiritual growth, encourage one another, and share Christ’s love through fellowship, service, and study. Together, we strive to build lasting relationships rooted in God’s love and grace.

Special Programs
A Little Love Saturdays | 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Three or four Saturdays a year, Northbrook Women provide four hours of childcare for our church, preschool and MOMCO families, allowing them to have a little time to themselves knowing that their littles are in safe hands. We are looking for women interested in showing these families a little love by watching over their littles during this time. Contact: Leigh Ann Launius
Friendship Luncheons
The Friendship Sunday School class is made up of some of our older, long-time church members. We show them a little love by providing a luncheon in someone’s home. Volunteer opportunities include hosting the meal in their home, providing transportation, assisting them into the house, preparing food, and serving the meal. Contact: Leigh Ann Launius
MOMCO (The Mom Community)
Formerly MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers), this is a group of mothers with young children that meet at our church two Thursdays a month for fellowship and a program. Northbrook Women supports this fellowship by provided a meal for them a few times a year. In addition, we are looking for Mentor Moms for the 25-26 school year. Mentor moms would attend all meetings and be at an assigned table with a set group of young moms and would commit to praying for them and simply be a voice of guidance as they walk the life of a young mom. Contact: Leigh Ann Launius
Northbrook's Dream Weavers
This group is seeking donated plastic grocery bags to be turned into sleeping mats for those experiencing housing insecurity. Bags can be left at the donation center on the Portico. Reach out if you would like to join this group and learn how to weave.
