Women’s Ministry at Christ Church
‘For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.’ Isaiah 22:10-11
Women’s Ministry aims to encourage women to grow in their dependence on Jesus in all areas of their lives. This is through hearing His word, the Bible, and responding in prayer.
We recognise that Jesus has given us each other to walk alongside and encourage as we journey through life.
For those investigating the claims of Jesus, there are groups to help you explore the Christian faith, which run at different times through the year.
There are a number of ways in which you can join with women at Christ Church.
Women’s Breakfast: Term time on the second Saturday each month 10-11.30am
These include a talk using the bible as our reference, discussions in small groups around tables, interviews with individuals about their faith journeys, praise and prayer. Once a term, we have an outreach event, which might include making a craft, music, afternoon tea or a short talk. This is something we can invite family and friends to who don’t yet know Jesus.
Exploring the Christian Faith: We offer a number of courses including the following:
Hope Explored: Invites people to discover the lasting hope, peace and purpose that Jesus offers. This is a three-week course with interactive sessions, watching videos, exploring the life, death and resurrection of Jesus through looking at the Gospel of Luke.
Christianity Explored: Is a longer course over seven weeks, looking at Jesus’ life through the Gospel of Mark and exploring discussions through films and small groups.
Growth Groups: We have 3 bible study groups specifically for women that meet at different times and different locations through the week. There are also mixed groups that meet either on a Tuesday or Wednesday evening.
We study whole books of the bible in these groups either over a year or term depending on the length of the book.
These groups are a great way to go deeper in God’s word, the Bible, as well as deepening friendships with one another.
