The Christian Women's Fellowship

The Christian Women’s Fellowship (CWF) has been active in the Porterville Church for about 50 years. It is a live and vibrant part of the life of First Christian Church. CWF has been a vital part of the mission arm of the church, emphasizing the importance of putting others first. Our mission support is given to the local Women’s Shelter, Kids to Camp, Samaritan’s Purse, Helping Hands, Rescue Mission, Porterville Community Council and our regional mission projects.

The CWF sponsors an annual Turkey Dinner in October each year. This involves the whole church and is one of the main sources of raising money for the mission projects supported by the women of the church. In addition, an annual Salad Bar Luncheon is held in the Spring. Two to three times a year, CWF holds yard sales. This is the other major source of income for the group. Again, the whole church is involved, especially the Men’s Fellowship Group who are vital in the set-up and take-down of the sales.

One of our main areas of service to the community is to be available to host memorial receptions for families in mourning. We do this for anyone who requests it whether they are a member of our congregation or not. We want to be part of the healing provided at bereavement through fellowship and compassion.

Our aim at First Christian Church is to win souls to Christ through love, loyalty, dedication and service to mankind. We most humbly thank God for our many years of service and we pray for his continued blessings and divine guidance.
