Your Giving in Action

May 7, 2026 | News, Reported in the E-Vision

When you give to the regular budget at FBC Griffin, your contribution supports a host of vital ministries throughout the church. Each month, we spotlight the incredible work of one of the ministries your giving supports through an article in the Your Giving in Action series. Below, you will find a deeper dive into the way your giving supports our worship services.

Life Song, by Lori Harvey

Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs up: do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. (Isaiah 43:19)

     A faithful FBC lady used this verse as a devotion during the last week of the spring session of Life Song. These words certainly hold truth for what is going on within Lifesong Ministries, which meets here at FBC. For those of you who are not aware, Life Song Ministries is a non-profit Christian Women’s Job Corp. This ministry was formed with the purpose of educating, encouraging, and empowering women. It provides no-cost training and life skills to women who desire to change their lives but lack resources.

     Lifesong Ministries was begun in 2007 by Nancy Anderson. God gave her a heart and a vision for helping women who wanted to improve their lives. Originally, the classes were held at New Mercy Baptist Church, but since 2021 our church has been the ministry’s home. Although many women within our church and others from the community work together, Jenny Flowers is the chairman of the ministry, and she is a certified teacher for the Jobs for Life program. Classes are held twice a year with two eight-week sessions, one in the spring and one in the fall. Our church even has a designated Lifesong classroom and office on the third floor. 

     During these eight-week sessions, the women in these classes learn about jobs, resources, and opportunities within our community. They are taught computer skills, interview skills, and financial training, as well as much more. Each student takes a personality assessment to help them decide on a career goal. They also develop a resume and get advice, from numerous professionals within the community from healthcare to banking. Most importantly, biblical principles are incorporated into every aspect of training. It is truly amazing to see all that goes on over the course of eight weeks and how much these women grow and change in the process.
