Just as women are often considered the heart of a home, they’re also considered the backbone of a church. Their contributions—their unique talents and gifts—are vital to the mission and success of a church. Yet, often times, their spiritual health is overlooked. While ministry groups within a church provide women with outstanding opportunities to get involved and give back while growing in their Christlikeness, they can’t replace the impact and influence a women’s ministry can have on this unique church population.

So, then, what exactly is women’s ministry? A women’s ministry is a community of women who gather to fellowship, mentor, and connect in a safe, supportive environment. Women’s ministries are where women engage with God while uplifting and encouraging one another in their faith.
