Women in the Word exists to equip and support Christian women to lead bible-based ministries in their churches. To this end we host in-person annual workshops, on-line learning cohorts, and coaching support. Our team members are also willing to speak at church retreats and conferences, as we are available.
All of our team members have been involved in leading bible-based ministries for women in a variety of different denominations, and we understand the challenges that women face as they dream about making the scriptures central to their church context. Women leaders are often volunteers who feel under-equipped and under-resourced. They aren’t sure where to start, and how to sustain incremental growth once they have begun. That’s where our team steps in! We provide women with training in how to study and teach the scriptures, and also coaching for building ministry vision and mission as they work alongside others at their church: their pastors and their volunteer team.
Our goal is to fan into flame the gifts that the Holy Spirit has given to women, and to encourage them as they invest in ministries which lead other women to worship Jesus as they study God’s word together.
