Our Mission
We
create a supportive space for women to deepen their connection with
Jesus. Our focus is on empowering women by providing tools to identify
and utilize their spiritual gifts. Together, we strive to walk with
Jesus, share His love through testimony, and embrace the promise of
living with Him eternally.
Women
are the backbone of the church. In the North American Division women
comprise nearly 60 percent of church membership and serve in every
department of the church. Women’s contributions are vital to the mission
and success of the church.
Why, then, is women’s ministries needed? An active women’s ministry in
the
local church can enhance the overall church program in many ways. By
ministering to women’s unique needs and by purposely training and
equipping women for service, women’s ministries can help ensure that
every woman in the church finds a way to be involved in the mission of
the church.
The
purpose of the Women’s Ministries Department is to encourage, equip,
promote, and challenge Adventist women in their journey as disciples of
Jesus Christ and members of His Church and to bring women’s perspectives
to the issues facing the Church.
Women’s
ministries should be ministry-driven. It should be much more than a
retreat, a tea party, or an annual Sabbath program featuring women.
Women’s ministries is about ministry (service) and making a difference
that will count for eternity. Although nurturing and social activities
play a part in the overall women’s ministries program, the purpose of
such events should be to help meet women’s needs and equip them for
service.
