How we serve

Women’s Ministries is a supportive community that nurtures the spiritual, emotional, and social well-being of women at every stage of life. It provides opportunities for discipleship, mentoring, and leadership training while equipping women to use their spiritual gifts in meaningful service. Through Bible studies, prayer, and networking, women uplift each other, find hope in challenges, and grow in their faith. Additionally, Women’s Ministries offers scholarships to undergraduate collegiate women.
