The WF is a group that meets every third Wednesday of the month at 2:00 pm. They manage some of the up keep in the church and the church's kitchen. They are always ready to assist with any group within the church that has a project. The WF is known for their great Spaghetti dinners that they prepare for Vacation Bible School.

They provide benevolences to the Battered Women's Shelter, The Child Protective Service, The Guadalupe Hospice, Marion Project CARE and others.

Evening Circle - this group begun out of the need of work ladies. There were many ladies that work out of the home and wanted to belong to the Women's Fellowship, so an evening group began.
