WOW Ministry
Otherwise known as Women of Worth, this ministry is an outgrowth of the widow’s ministry that has grown to include other single women whether never married or divorced. We find our worth in being betrothed to Christ, preparing to be His bride. We have quarterly gatherings throughout the year for fellowship, support and encouragement.
Our current facilitators are:

Meals On Wheels
On the fourth Wednesday of each month for 3 hours in the morning, a small group of us meet at a local church to cook and pack food for folks in and through out our community who are in need of meals. If you enjoy cooking and or fellowship, please consider joining our team—you pick your Wednesdays!
Leaving The Cocoon
Oak Cottage
Leaving the Cocoon exists to assist incarcerated women in the Nashville, TN, prison. We provide mentors, one-on-one lay counseling, and Bible study. In order to go into the prison, you must do some required training and get a volunteer badge for identification.
Oak Cottage for Women are 2 transitional homes in Franklin. They house ex-offenders who are given a chance to start their lives anew. Leaving the Cocoon (LTC) provides many volunteer opportunities for those who are interested in mentoring, driving ladies to appointments, taking a lady to lunch, attend Bible classes, Celebrate Recovery classes, meal sharing, etc.
