women's ministry
The desire of Women’s Ministry is to nurture the hearts of women to know God’s word and follow faithfully after Christ, to demonstrate authenticity and love, and to serve as they are uniquely made. More simply stated, our aim is to encourage disciple-making disciples!
A disciple of Christ is “someone who learns from him to live like him” (desiringgod.org). Every Christian is called to grow in spiritual maturity by abiding in Christ (John 15:5-12), which entails spending time with Jesus and resting in Him. As we deepen our relationship with Christ, we learn to become more like Him. This is an individual journey, and yet we are called to community. In His wisdom, the Lord designed us to also grow together (Ephesians 4:16-16).
In the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20), Jesus calls believers to “make disciples of all nations”. The purpose of the Women's Ministry is to call women towards that end. The events, whether a Bible study or a game night, ultimately have disciple-making as the goal.
What you will see in the pages of this booklet are opportunities to draw closer to Jesus and to other women who are also on the journey of becoming more like him.

Upcoming Events
2024
Legacy: Unwrapping His Presence | December 10th | 6:30pm
Legacy
Legacy is an event for women of ALL ages & stages! Our purpose is to provide a relaxing evening of food, fellowship, and spiritual encouragement and challenge. We desire to be women of the Word of God who leave behind godly legacies for our family, friends, and neighbors.
If you are new to Grace, Legacy is a great starting point in meeting other women. It is also a welcoming environment to bring a friend from outside the church. We will eat a meal together, listen to a speaker or panel of women, and participate in table discussions. Register online or watch for the Sign Up Station in the Foyer before each event.
Legacy will take place at 6:30 pm on Tuesday, December 10 & March 25.
Bible Studies
Do you have a desire to experience genuine community? Our desire is to encourage women toward personal and spiritual maturity through the teaching and counsel from God’s Word. A small group setting provides opportunities to engage in a deep and personal way.
Sunday School
Using the Discovery Bible Study Method (www.dbsguide.org), we will explore Acts chapters 1 through 28 over the course of the year.
The Book of Acts is a rich history of the birth of the church-- amazing miracles, riveting sermons, and narrow escapes. We will read and discuss a chapter in the Book of Acts.
This class is seeker-friendly, and we welcome new women to join at any time. All ages welcome.
Starts: August 25, 9am-10:15am, Room 200
Books: Optional Resource - READ: A Bible Study Plan for Unpacking God’s Word by Cyndee Ownbey will be available in class to purchase for $15
Childcare: Not provided (unless you’re using Sunday School classes)
