Mission Statement
The women’s ministry purpose is to facilitate spiritual growth and fellowship for the women of the congregation.
Scriptural Support
God saw that women were needed. That man was not complete without them. GENESIS 2:18, 20-24 – “The Lord God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.’ … But for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, ‘This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.’ For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.”
Women have responsibilities to each other as well as to the congregation. TITUS 2:3-5 – “Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.”
Women are not “second class citizens” in Christ. GALATIANS 3:28 – “There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”
Women and men both need to remember the unity of Christ. EPHESIANS 4:1-6 – “As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit – just as you were called to one hope when you were called – one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.”
Ministry Description
The women’s ministry is currently defined as, “Plan, organize and coordinate service projects, retreats, luncheons, prayer-pals, Bible classes, mentoring, mothers day out and/or other programs to facilitate spiritual growth and fellowship for the women of the congregation.”
