The purpose of the Women of the Church is to glorify God. We provide avenues for personal spiritual growth and the development of spiritual gifts, expressing our God-given commission through fellowship, encouragement, prayer support, and care and assistance in time of need; thus equipping and touching the lives of women who in like manner share the love of Christ with families, the community, the nation, and the world.
