Women

The Women’s Ministry exists to prepare women for eternity who are willing workers for God while they await the return of Christ.  Women’s ministry works in cooperation with other church ministries to fulfill the church’s mission of reaching, teaching and nurturing the body of Christ.

Women can participate in the ministry by attending the monthly 2nd Tuesday W.I.S.E gathering (Women in Study & Encouragement).  This gathering is open to the community.  There is a weekly Women’s Daytime Bible study each Wednesday at 11am, open to the community. Women can also grow in fellowship with God and others by hosting or attending a Summer Home Bible study. These studies are held from June to August.  Women’s Prayer is held each Saturday morning at 7:00 in room 116. (The women pray together via phone conference when weather or circumstances prohibit meeting in person.)All women are encouraged to join one of the five Sunday morning Connect Groups. These groups provide discipleship in the Word, fellowship and care during times of need.
