The purpose of Women of Grace Ministries is to encourage and equip women to grow spiritually, build covenant relationships, and serve in community life, all to the glory of God. The main goals of the Women’s Ministry are spiritual growth through Bible studies, personal growth through mentoring, and body life growth through fellowship.
Women's Daytime Bible Studies
To encourage and equip women to grow spiritually.
Studies meet Thursdays (childcare provided) from 9:45-11:30 a.m., or Saturdays from 8-9 a.m. Fall and Spring studies meet for 11-15 weeks. Summer study meets in June through July and also has an afternoon Zoom option. Sign up and purchase books on Sundays at the Women of Grace table in the courtyard.
Mary & Martha (M&M)
To build covenant relationships and encourage service.
M&M meets several times each year. During our times together, a woman from GBC will present her testimony and her particular skill, hobby, or interest, followed by a time of fellowship together over an activity coordinated with the presentation. Women are encouraged to invite friends who do not necessarily attend church to come! Watch for announcements in the Sunday bulletins and posters in the lady's restroom.
Baby Celebrations
To encourage and equip women to grow spiritually and build church-family relationships.
Baby Celebrations are held seasonally. Mommies who have had or are expecting babies each season are invited, along with all the Women of Grace and the mothers' guests, to celebrate these new lives. A light meal is served over the time of fellowship followed by a devotional and a time of prayer. The WOG ministry and "sisters sew-n-sew" provide gifts. Watch for announcements in the Sunday bulletin and posters in the lady's restroom. Join us, and let your presence be your present to the young moms of our Grace family!
Spring Opportuni-Tea
To encourage service in community life.
For this event, the women of GBC and their guests enjoy an elegant tea. A guest speaker from a local organization supported by GBC shares her testimony and insights, encouraging us to consider personal participation with this organization.
Fall Conference
To encourage and equip women to grow spiritually.
This annual conference is held on a September Saturday. Women are invited to gather to hear from a guest speaker expounding from Scripture. We share meals together, times of praise music, teaching, prayer and fellowship. Dates to be announced in the Sunday bulletin.
Ornament Exchange
To build church-family relationships and enjoy the Lord's people.
From 3:30-5:30 p.m. on the first Saturday afternoon each December, the ladies are invited together for food, fellowship, sharing, and a fun game of exchanging Christmas Tree ornaments.
Foundations of Grace - Mentoring Ministry
To encourage and equip women to grow spiritually.
Women aged 16+ who are committed to Grace Bible Church are encouraged to come and grow in the grace of godly womanhood with us.
Walk of Grace: Growing in the Graces of Bible Study, Prayer & Encouragement
Be encouraged to practice self-discipline and a pure focus to know more personally the only true God and Jesus Christ, whom He has sent. Then, reach out to serve others through fellowship and hospitality to encourage with the same hope you have learned. This small group meets monthly in a mentor's home.
Home of Grace: Being a Godly Woman & Worker at Home
Learn and be encouraged to apply what Jesus commanded single and married women concerning cherishing family, submission, doing good, and giving grace to others. This small group meets monthly in a mentor's home.
Women's Prayer Ministry
Through this year round ministry, Women of Grace who choose to participate are guided to pray scripture to bless every woman attending GBC. A kick-off event is held every January for those interested in this ministry.
