Ministries to Women, through Women
Mission Statement:
"With the leadership of the Holy Spirit, we will give encouragement to women to grow into an intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, that results in maturing women who are equipped to impact their world with God's love, for His glory."
2 Peter 3:18, "But grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Colossians 2:2, "My purpose is that they may be encouaged in heart and united in love."
“Seeking His Heart” Small Group Bible Studies
Seeking His Heart” is the heartbeat of our Women’s Bible Study series. Our purpose is to personally grow in spiritual maturity and in our relationship with our Holy God. To that effect each study combines prayer and fellowship with in-depth study of the Bible. Free child care is provided with studies that are meeting at the church.
"Beloved Disciple-Life and Ministry of John by Beth Moore
This 10wk study explores the life of the apostle John. Every disciple and early follower of Christ left a legacy for future believers. John's legacy was love. Just as Christ took John on a lifelong journey into the depths of His love, He will do the same for you.

Hearts & Hands Ministries
A compassionate heart and gentle serving hands are the main ingredients needed to be a part of these most vital ministries in the body of Christ.
Our Bereavement Luncheon Team is ready on quick notice to help prepare and set up luncheons following funerals for families of our church. No other team is more needed in time of death. If you have a heart to serve the Lord by cooking, decorating, or comforting bereaved families, this ministry needs you. We may not have a funeral for a year, and we may have three in a row. But we are faithfully ready when duty calls, usually during the week from 9a.m.—2pm. Many hands make small work so the more volunteers the merrier on this team. Call Jane Pickelsimer 773-4951
Our Card Ministry is how we encourage and comfort each other during times of trials, seasons of sickness and sorrow, or to edify our service men and women who are serving abroad. CHBC began it’s card ministry in 1987. Since that time we have sent out more than 10,000 cards. About 30 cards are sent weekly by women who meet a couple of hours on Tuesdays at 10am., and 1pm. They write and pray over each card sent. If you’ve ever received one of these precious cards you know what a blessing it is.
We are called to comfort and encourage each other and to build each other up in Christ. These are two great opportunities to do just that!
Contact Veda Curtis at 842-3890.
FAITHBOOKING is a time when we can meet together to scrapbook our journey. We meet on the 2nd Sunday of the month through Dec. from 5:00-7:00pm in the sound end of Fellowship Hall. Call Cynthia Stapp for more information. 722-9770
Handle with Prayer Ministries
GOD ANSWERS PRAYER! That’s why we can truly sing, “Great is Thy Faithfulness!”
Prayer is where we go to find the heart of God and where He touches our hearts with His healing love and power. It is through these conversations with God that we build our relationships with Him, as well as our trust in Him when we see His loving response.
Several prayer opportunities are offered to women at Cherokee Hills Baptist Church, both internally for our church family and externally in the community.
Cherokee Hills E-mail Prayer Chain are ministries that pray for members of our own church. What a joy it is to unite with other women in intercession! We have seen the Lord do great and mighty things in this ministry! If this is your interest contact:
Deaconess Hospital Healing Touch Prayer Team is an outreach ministry. Have you ever thought about being a Chaplain? This is your chance! If you can devote 3 to 4 hours a week you can serve as a Volunteer Chaplain at Deaconess Hospital. Training is provided. You will have opportunity to share Christ with those that are hurting and be a part of a wonderful group called “His Healing Touch Team.” For more information call: Karen Ford, 943-7482.
Prayer Shawl Ministry- there is something very comforting about wrapping oneself in a soft, handmade shawl that has been lovingly prayed over. The Prayer Shawl Ministry meets the last Tues. of every month at 6:00pm in fellowship hall to knit, crochet, sew, etc... these beautiful shawls that they make to give to those who need to be lifted up. Contact Ruby Mertz 495-6447.
Faith in Action Ministries
Put Feet to Faith…
Nothing activates one’s own faith more than sharing it with others. When Jesus said, “It is better to give than to receive,” He hinted of the manifold blessings in store for the servant giver. This is after all, the law of Christ’s Love.
CHBC provides several ways to serve our community in Jesus’ Name for His glorification. We also allow our members to introduce new ministries to our attention for corporate participation. Here are some of the community volunteering opportunities we have established...
Clothing Giveaway: Dates for the Spring giveaway TBA. This is a fun way to clean your old wardrobe and swap for a new one for the whole family—absolutely free! Bring nicely laundered clothing, shoes, accessories, children's toys, baby gear, etc. You don't have to bring anything in order to take stuff! All leftovers are donated to various charities. Contact: Ginny Little 722-6123
Baptist Mission Food Pantry: During the month of March each year we coordinate a food drive to help supply the downtown mission that feeds the homeless.
Hope Pregnancy Center: Changing hearts and saving lives is our purpose. (see article)
Faith in Action Leader: Ginny Little, 722-6123
Thanksgiving & Christmas Baskets Filled with Love
Each year throughout the months of November and December our sisters in Christ coordinate a church wide food drive to fill festive holiday Thanksgiving and Christmas Baskets to bring comfort and joy to our family members in need in this congregation as well as outside our church.
If you or a family you know would benefit from this gift in the name of our Lord, please contact Mark Stapp, our associate pastor at the church. All names will remain anonymous and special arrangements will be made to either pick up baskets or have them delivered.
Our November Basket Drive will begin Nov 4– 18th. Watch for the boxes in the hallways, or your Sunday School may fill a couple of baskets using the inventory sheet provided. More info on that later.
The Christmas Basket Drive will use the same format and run from Dec. 2– 16.
Be watching your bulletins for more details!
Hope Pregnancy Center Impacts Local Lives
If you ever wanted to bring light and hope into to a dark world right in your own back yard, the Hope Pregnancy Center is the place to do just that! Whether you’re helping a young, scared teenager determine if she’s pregnant, or trying to gently reason with a frightened, confused abortion-minded client who sees no other way out of her dilemma, or helping teach and support a single mom or young couple to best prepare for their baby’s arrival through the center’s Earn While You Learn Program, God is speaking to hearts and minds through His people in this ripe mission field.
There is a great need for Christian peer counselors at the center, located on N. May, just south of Hefner Road. We need compassionate godly women who will adopt one half day a week, (either morning or afternoon), to help lead these young lives to Christ and wholesome living. Each peer counselor receives training and mentoring. This ministry is supported by the Baptist Children’s Home and the facility is clean, pretty and safe—and most importantly conveniently located right here in our own community!
We also need hands-on support making baby bags, stocking the Mommy Store, cleaning clothes and donated baby equipment, along with assembling cribs—things that men could help with too. Plus there’s the ongoing the need for tangible and financial donations along with gently worn maternity clothes.
This summer our church generously filled “Hope Chests” with baby clothes and diapers which greatly helped keeping the Mommy Store supplied. YES!
To find out more how you can be a part of this impact ministry, call Peggy Kennedy, Hope Center Director, at 755-5973. We invite you to take a tour any day Monday thru Friday 9-4, or Saturday, 9-noon.
Building Bonds through Special Events
Special Events” are those occasions set apart when we gather together as women, regardless of occupation or age, to enjoy fun fellowship, a relaxing escape, and experience worship, prayer, and spiritual growth. Of course all of this is centered around delicious foods, great entertainment, games, and giggles and …did I mention delicious foods? Each Special Event is open to bring girl friends and family, to nestle in the bonds of our love and sharing. As you know when women get together we end up laughing, joking, crying, singing, praying, inspiring and supporting each other. Plus we eat lots of chocolate! But hey, that’s the point!
Don’t miss out on the fun in store this year, grab a pen and
