WOMEN’S MINISTRY

The Women’s Ministry at St. John’s West Bend reaches out to women of all ages and generations. We have many different opportunities for you to connect with other women who share your interests, hobbies, and passions. Whether it’s gathering around God’s Word in a small group or Bible study, tying quilts to send across the world, or making cards to give to others, we are blessed to be able to connect to, care for, and share with each other. . . in Christ!
