Women in the Church
The purpose of the Women's Ministry is to be used by God to bring women into a right relationship with Christ and others, and to help believers develop godly character and ministry skills.
Each woman who is a member of Christ Presbyterian Church is also a member of the Women's Ministry.
The Women's Ministry seeks to provide opportunities for church-wide fellowship and opportunities for women to gather together to study the Scriptures, pray, and fellowship. The Women's Ministry seeks to encourage and enable women to exercise their gifts and abilities to the glory of God in the total work and worship of the church.
