Women's Ministry

Women's Ministry is more than planning social events.  It's more than leading Bible Studies.  It's more than coordinating church suppers.  Women's Ministry is about women reach out to other women in the places they are at, whether that is in a penthouse, an office building or on the streets.  It's about laughing and crying, listening and sharing, learning and growing, for as we reach out to help someone else, the blessing returns to us exponentially.

Survey Your Group's Needs
In order to effectively minister to women, we need to ask them what they need. Pass out this survey to find out what the needs in your congregation are. You may be surprised!

Marketing Your Program
"If you build it, they will come" only works in Field of Dreams. We need to make a concerted effort to let people know what is going on so they can come and bring their friends. Check out the article on marketing, and the additional resources from a marketing consultant who specializes in small businesses.

A Mentoring Program
Women need one another. This is a program we set up in our church that has been quite successful in connecting women. Here's a great article on friendship: nothing I wrote, but one of those e-mail pass-arounds that's worth sharing.
