Today like never before, women are hurting. Many come from unhealthy and dysfunctional backgrounds that have left them ill-equipped to handle life’s pressures. Due to heavy responsibilities and dissolving families, many women feel isolated and lonely. Therefore, when a woman walks into a church, she is looking for someone to care, encourage, and listen to her hence it can be said that she desperately needs the Body of Christ. She wants to know that she is not alone, and she needs the hope that a personal relationship with Jesus can provide.
While sermons can challenge and inspire a woman, genuine life-change happens when someone enters her emotional world, connects with her, and encourages her on a personal level. She experiences the most growth within relationships that provide empathy, presence, conversation, and emotional connection.
This is the premise of the Women’s Ministry here at Set Free Christian Church. Women understand women and this is why ministry to women, by women, is a vital part of our congregation.The mission of the Women’s Ministry is to touch the lives of women by the transforming power of Jesus Christ, discipline them to follow His example, and training them to minister to others.
The ministry’s Statement of Purpose is fivefold as outlined below.
- Reaching women through the transforming power and love of Jesus Christ.
- Discipling women to follow Christ’s example and live overcoming lives.
- Building wholeness and balance, both spiritually and mentally, through consistent prayer and study of God’s Word.
- Providing an atmosphere for women to develop their gifts, abilities, and lasting relationships.
