Welcome to the Women’s Ministries page! Let’s face it – women have always been at the forefront of ministry and mission – so why a department of the church for women? Women’s Ministries encourages women to further their potential, their participation and their vision in the mission of reaching out to Christ and to others. It also encourages women to intentionally mentor young women towards real beauty in Christ.
