• Provide social opportunities for women in our local church through meetings that include fellowship and prayer; a Bible Study program every other Thursday night and a Thursday morning intercessory prayer time.

• Provide spiritual training to our young girls by sponsoring a weekly Girls Club.

Women have been a vital part of the ongoing ministry of the Church of God since its humble beginnings in the rugged Unicoi Mountains. Their ministries now reach around the world with a multiplicity of emphases and focuses…including prayer, Bible study, local and world missions, covenant team ministry (providing assistance to mission states and regions), benevolence, prison outreach, ministry to both young girls and senior adults, fund-raising, printed resource materials and social issues that affect women.

Women’s Ministries endeavors to create an atmosphere where women can realize spiritual maturity and fellowship, develop their leadership skills, and minister in the local church, their community and the world.

Dedicated women are making a significant difference in their world by their commitment to develop their time, talents and finances to promote the goals enunciated in the Women’s Ministries statement of purpose.

Women are encouraged to accept their responsibility as women of God who will offer themselves as living sacrifices, acceptable and pleasing to God: be devoted to one another in love, honoring one another above themselves; serve God and their church with zeal, keeping their spiritual fervor; joyfully hope; be patient in affliction and faithful in prayer; share with God’s people who are in need; and practice hospitality.

The verses found in Romans 12:1, 10-13 are the foundations for these aspirations.

Women are also encouraged to be committed to teaching the young women, as outlined in Titus 2:4.
