Women's Enrichment Ministries

Our mission is to provide each woman with a place to serve the Lord with the gifts that God has given her. To see women make friends through Bible study, fellowship, and other events. The goal of WEM is to lead women to connect, unify and to grow in God's word and to bridge the gap between younger and older women.

Ephesians 4:13 unity in faith, Philippians 2:2 being of the same mind, and 2 Peter 3:18 growing in grace and knowledge.  
Ephesians 4:15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ  16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

Here are a few ways to get connected in our Women's Ministry!

Youth Ministry Workers

Women are always instrumental in a thriving youth ministry.  There are many ways for ladies to serve in our youth group--such as prayer partnering and/or discipling our girls, spending time with the students, food service, chaperoning trips, leading our girl's small group during Sunday School, or even as support leadership during any of our events.  We know that our young ladies respond far more comfortably to older ladies with more life experiences, so we try to match them together as often as possible.  We are so thankful for the generations of women who have served and built our church into what it is today!
