Women's Ministry
We have several exciting events planned for the 2023-2024 program year! Let us know on the following pages which fellowship and volunteer opportunities you are interested in.
Fellowship Opportunities
We have several opportunities for you to connect with women over shared interests and in similar stages of life.
Women at Work: This group is for women who work, in any capacity—the point is, we ALL work! Let’s meet to discuss the issues that complicate our different work contexts and how to address them in light of the freedom we have in the gospel. Beginning Tuesday, September 12, this study meets from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at Cranmer House.
I am interested in more information.
Sign me up for this study.
The Middle: Women in "the middle" stages of life, raising college and adult children and caring for aging parents, gather three times a year on Thursday evenings to gain a gospel perspective on the issues they face in this stage of life.
I am in the middle.
I would like to host and help coordinate.
