Women's Community Group is a multi-generational gathering of women who come together to study the Bible, grow in their faith, and cultivate friendship.

Our Women’s Community Group will study together Jude: Contending for the Faith in today’s Culture by Jackie Hill Perry.

This Community Group breaks into small group discussion time each week after their large group video teaching time. These Small Groups study the Bible, care for each other, and serve together.

Each small group will also have an opportunity to form friendships across the generations as we pair these small groups with our Mom Time small groups forming Sister Groups.

Sister Groups are two small groups that will intentionally spend time together during the semester to form stronger friendships and model Titus 2 in our church.

WOMEN'S COMMUNITY GROUP LEADERS

Nan Brinkerhoff 
I have four adult kids, one precious grandbaby named Ellie, and a Jack Russell named Fidget.  I love The Church at Brook Hills and have been attending and involved in various aspects of serving for about 10 years. I enjoy reading, swimming, hiking and I do Pilates (although I can’t say I enjoy the pain of that).

Deb Bengtson
I enjoy spending family time with my husband of 43 years and my two daughters’ families, which includes four precious grandchildren.  I have found a passion in teaching the Bible to women at a local addiction recovery facility, while also loving to gather at church with my BH women’s small                                                                group to study the Word and encourage and sup-                                              port one another. 

Carol Brown
I have been married to Bill Brown for 54 wonderful years. We have two children and three grandchildren. I especially love the ministry which God has called me to with women.

 

Phaedra Galloway 
I live in Pelham with my husband and youngest daughter. I lead and love a multigenerational women's bible study and attend a women's community bible study.

 

Katie Grubbs 
I'm an adjunct professor of English, teaching online for Houston Christian University. Three of our four kids are on the autism spectrum, so I have a passion for supporting other special needs moms. I love teaching the Bible to women and showing how it connects with and inspires church history, litera-                                            ture, and art. 

Jan Hendrickson 
I've been married to Claude for 37 years and have three grown children. I am blessed with four grandchildren. I've led a multigenerational small group on Wednesday mornings for several years and I've learned so much more from them than they have from me. 

Michelle Hower 
I live in Leeds with my husband, three sons, and my mom. I teach a multigenerational women's group on Wednesday mornings.  I really enjoy opportunities to do ministry in multigenerational ways.

 

 

Lee Peavy 
God has blessed me with the privilege of serving on the staff of churches and ministry organizations for many years. My passion is to disciple women to become wholehearted followers of Jesus, to walk in their identity as believers, and to challenge them to become more like Him.  I love spending time with                                             family, friends, and my wonderful Branches family                                             here at Brook Hills.
