Women
have been a vital part of the ongoing ministry of the Church of God
since its humble beginnings.

Statement
of Purpose
To
encourage spiritual growth, personal development and leadership
among women and to contribute to the general welfare of the home,
church, community and world.
Scripture
Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works
praise her in the gates
(Proverbs 31:31).
Womens
Ministries endeavors to create an atmosphere where women can realize
spiritual maturity and fellowship, develop their leadership skills,
and minister in the local church, their community.
Dedicated
women are making a significant difference in their world by their
commitment to devote their time, talents and finances to promote
the goals enunciated in the Womens Ministries statement of
purpose.
Women
are encouraged to accept their responsibility as women of God who
will offer themselves as living sacrifices, acceptable and pleasing
to God; be devoted to one another in love, honoring one another
above themselves; serve God and their church with zeal, keeping
their spiritual fervor; joyfully hope; be patient in affliction
and faithful in prayer; share with Gods people who are in
need; and practice hospitality.
The verses found in Romans 12:1, 10-13 are the foundations for these
aspirations. Women are also encouraged to be committed to teaching
the younger women, as outlined in Titus 2:4.

For
I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to
harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen
to you. You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all
your heart.
Jeremiah 29:11-13.
