White Memorial Church - Women’s Ministries Leader

Women's Ministry Leader

Women are an influential force in the church. They cradle the future and shape the present with their attitudes and actions toward themselves, family, friends, fellow church members and neighbors. When women are ministered to, the church, their family, and the community are ministered to as well.

Women’s needs and concerns include, (but are not limited to) women living balanced-lifestyles, balancing responsibilities with the multiple roles of home, work, husband’s work, children, church, and society, women and finances, women and self-esteem, women and decision-making, conflict, resolution, and time-management.

Biblical Principles

The Bible gives greater insight into the role of women. Biblical women were entrepreneurs, judges, homemakers, and Bible teachers to list only a few. Thus the Christian woman is called to use her life in terms of the great potential for the development and use of her abilities.

Christian women are compassionate with godly wisdom. They choose to act; to be spiritually strengthening people already in the membership, as well as the non-members in the community. Christian women are committed to changing the world through prayer and sharing their faith in the Lord.

As our Model, Jesus ministered to women (Mar 7; Luke 7, 8 and 13) restoring their self-work and value as human beings. The increasingly complex needs of women within North American society and the church make women’s ministries a key priority in the church. “They (women) can do a work that men cannot do. They can come close to the hearts of those whom men cannot reach. The labor is needed. “(Ellen G. White, Evangelism, page 465.) “Why may they (women) not understand their own powers, and realizing that these powers are given of God, strive to make use of them to the fullest extent in doing good to others, in advancing the work of reformation, of truth, and of real goodness in the world..” (Ellen G. White, Welfare Ministries, page 16.1) “Let women realize the sacredness of her work and in the strength and fear of God, take up her mission.” (Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 3, 564.)

Women today are commissioned to use the talents and opportunities God has given them to fulfill His eternal plan. The responsibility of sharing the Good News is the burden of all who call themselves Christians. If the church were not to fully utilize women’s gifts the church body would be denied the internal freedom under which it flourishes best. It would be denied the benefit of the spiritual and intellectual gifts of over half of its membership. Women would experience loss and those to whom she might minister also would lose the needed help. Women’s ministries involves encouraging women to discover and use their gifts.

The Women’s Ministries Leader is elected by the church – a member of the board. Qualifications include a sensitive, caring nature and a clear spiritual understanding of God’s design for women. She assists the church in meeting the spiritual, emotional, and intellectual needs of women in their various stages of life and cultural background. She seeks to provide a spiritual climate for growth, encourages productivity and rewards efforts and initiatives.
