The Women’s Ministry of First Baptist Norfolk exists to glorify God by reaching, teaching, and encouraging the women of our church and Hampton Roads. Our ministry is designed to help women connect to one another in settings where they can build meaningful relationships with other women as they come to faith in God, grow in Christian maturity, and live out their faith by service to others. Our mission is to provide opportunities for women to grow in their faith as they make friends who can encourage them on their journey with God. Our Bible studies, LIFEgroups, encouragement groups, mission groups, community ministries, and special events are planned with the needs of women in mind! Many of our ministries provide wonderful programs for preschool age and homeschooled children. Our desire is for women to Love God, Love Others, and Live the Mission!

Annie B. Garman is a Midwestern girl who finds herself living in the suburbs of Washington DC. As a child, she wrote many books with dramatic titles (such as "The Sun Will Come Out"... "The Sidewalk Does Not Hold Three") and dreamt of becoming a REAL WRITER. As she got older, her dreams got wrinkly and dry as she met many talented writers whose gifts seemed to outshine hers. She continued journalling, but eventually concluded the last thing the world needed was another book. However, when she discovered that her baby had a heart defect, she decided to document the journey in hopes that it would help parents with similar trauma. She wrote down everything she was experiencing, thinking, feeling, and questioning during the three years of her daughter's open heart surgeries. Eventually this turned into Annie's first book. Annie has a B.A in Teaching English as a Second Language from Liberty University and started a Masters in Counseling/Marriage and Family Therapy (but got distracted writing a book and never finished). Her and her husband, Colby have been married for fifteen wild years. She just happens to be a pastor's wife (that was not the original plan) and a mother to four young girls: Haley Jane, Darcy Elaine, Gracie Kane, and Penelope Raine (four girls with rhyming names was not the original plan either). Annie loves a good story, especially when it involves God transforming lives. She shares her thoughts on "Motherhood, Mayhem, and the Meaning of Life" at anniebgarman.com.
