About this department
Women’s Ministries is a place to address the spiritual, emotional, physical and social needs of women in the church. The Department of Women’s Ministries exists to uphold, encourage, and challenge Adventist women in their pilgrimage as disciples of Jesus Christ and members of His world church. As Christians, seeking to follow the example of Jesus, we believe that it is important to do what we can to meet the needs of all people, developing trust, and helping them to find the answers to their needs. For this reason, Women’s Ministries has chosen to focus much of its attention to these challenges. The Department has 7 objectives, as follows: 1. Foster spiritual growth and renewal among women. 2. Affirm that women are of inestimable worth by virtue of their creation and redemption, equip them for service in the church, and offer women’s perspectives on church issues. 3. Minister to the broad spectrum of women’s needs across the life span, with due regard for multicultural and multiethnic perspectives. 4. Liaise and cooperate with other specialized departments of the church to facilitate the ministry to women and of women. 5. Build goodwill among women in the world church that encourages bonds of friendship, mutual support, and the creative exchange of ideas and information. 6. Mentor and encourage Seventh-day Adventist women, creating paths for their involvement in the church as they reach for their potential in Christ. 7. Find ways and means to challenge each Seventh-day Adventist woman to use her gifts to complement the talents of others as they work side by side to further the global mission of the church.
