PURPOSE
flour·ish
/ˈfləriSH/
"to grow or develop in a healthy or vigorous way, especially as the result of a particularly favorable environment."
Our purpose as women at Barnhardt Baptist Church is to have full assurance of our belief and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior. We strive to grow daily in our knowledge of and love for our Savior and to stand strong in our commitment to Him. We encourage all women in our church to join us in loving and serving others as we hold out the message of salvation to everyone.
