Support Groups
Life can be hard, but you don’t have to do it alone. We all experience seasons of challenge, relational upsets, or sorrow. Whatever the circumstances, First Medina offers help to get you through difficult seasons, or if you just want to grow. Our Support Groups are safe, friendly, caring groups of people who have gone through some of life’s most difficult experiences and need others who have experienced those same difficulties to walk alongside them. No matter where you are at on your journey, you are welcome here with others who want to help.
Men's Ministry
There are a number of definitions of what being a man is according to the world’s standards. The Biblical call of a real man is to reject passivity, accept responsibility, lead courageously, and invest in eternity. Check out what is taking place for in our Men’s Ministry here.
Women's Ministry
LIVING ON PURPOSE FOR THE GLORY OF GOD is what women’s ministry is all about here at First Baptist Medina. We want to create meaningful relationships with women inside and outside of our church. We affirm and strengthen women’s awareness of their value and worth to and for Christ. We grow in our faith with the Word of God, with love, with laughter and with learning through Bible studies, special events, casual get-togethers, community service, conference opportunities, and more.
