Women’s Ministries in the Church of God of Prophecy defines a resourc
e center providing assistance in ministering to the needs of women, providing minist
ry opportunities for women, and increasing awareness of mission needs. As women experience spiritual and personal growth, they will, spontaneously, become vessels through which the grace of God is enlarged.
The outreach of this resource center is accomplished by several means including regular communication with state/regional/national women’s leaders within The Church of God of Prophecy, the support and conducting of International and Regional Ladies Retreats, the frequent mailing of Newsletters and Mission Updates, and maintenance of Helping Hands and One Child Fund Ministries.
Mission Statement:
The Women’s Ministries, a part of Specialized Ministries, was designed to provide an effective ministry to all women and to enhance ministries that will affect the harvest of women. It has three primary goals:
to provide assistance in ministering to the needs of women,
to provide ministry opportunities for women,
and to increase awareness of mission needs.
Vision for Ministry:
Many questions continue to form in this day as to where women fit into the ministry spectrum for this last day. In fact, the role of women in church leadership, ministry, and discipleship is an issue that has challenged man (male and female) for generations. In view of the world’s needs, this is an especially significant question to be addressed in this day to discover scriptural concepts for providing direction.
While this history factors in when considering the responsibilities of women, women’s needs are basically the same as with others:
To accept Christ as the Son of God and as personal Lord and Savior
To be sanctified holy for His use
To be filled with the Holy Spirit
To develop a disciplined prayer and devotional life
To know and begin using our spiritual gifts
To function within the context of a local church fellowship and Christian community
To be able to share faith with others
To strengthen relationships with husband, family and friends and develop positive parenting skills
To have the mind of Christ
