SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH
WOMEN'S MINISTRY
Women's Ministry is a very broad term used to define a multi-facet ministry. Our heart is to reach women inside and outside the church with the love of Christ, see them grow in their walk with the Lord, and apply God's Word to their lives. We want to encourage, equip, and strengthen them in their faith. Women's Ministry includes Women's Bible studies, prayer meetings, and special events, such as retreats, teas, boutiques, etc. We have a mentoring ministry, studies for moms of preschoolers, and monthly book clubs. Ladies who are friendly and have a heart for hospitably serve as greeters and hostesses. We believe that whatever gift the Lord has given each woman can be used in this ministry, from painting and drawing to teaching and singing. Because we have seen God work in amazing ways, our theme Scripture is Ephesians 3:20, "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us…"
Our Purpose
Our Vision:
(taken from Ephesians 3:17-19) That through faith in Christ, women, as they are rooted and established in love, may have the power to grasp how wide and long and high and deep the love of Christ is, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that they may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Our Belief:
That God is a “life changer.” As women we come to know His immeasurable love for them, their hearts will be touched and their lives changed. When women’s lives are touched, the lives of husbands, children, neighbors, and friends are also touched.
Our Goal:
That through the ministry of the Holy Spirit and obedience to the Lord, the Women’s Ministry will be used as an instrument through which God will affect women’s lives. In the hustle and bustle of a woman’s daily life, these two areas of need can often become neglected. The Women’s Ministry of GSDAC seeks to reach out to women to help meet these needs.
