Women in Ministry

The Women in Ministry Commission was formed with a desire to serve the PCCNA in advancing the kingdom of God, positively impacting the cause of Christ and His church in North America, and promoting unity among people of the Spirit.

Vision

To equip, resource, and encourage women in ministry to form relational networks, designed to provide opportunities for living scripturally enriched and healthy lives

Values

1. A loving community to develop friendships with other women in ministry (Acts 2:42; Philippians 2:1-2)
2. An edifying Word offered in a variety of resources and settings (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Colossians 3:16)
3. Healing hope for those struggling with day-to-day challenges of ministry (Isaiah 61:1-3)
4. A growing faith through nurturing covenant groups, retreats, life coaching, and ongoing dialogue (Hebrews 10:24)

Targeted Goals

Our initial goals are to establish a listing of resources and networks that are currently available through PCCNA member organizations, connect monthly through e-newsletters, and offer monthly covenant calls or virtual meetings as opportunities for women in ministry to connect. (The Helper Connection, a PCCNA member ministry, also provides regional trainings and relational retreats for ministry wives and women in ministry. Visit www.thehelperconnection.org for more information.)

Statement of Commitment

We would hope to establish stronger connections among women within PCCNA member organizations and the broader kingdom of God through offering a loving atmosphere to develop friendships with ministry wives and women ministers and providing resources (digital and print), regional trainings, and relational retreats for these women.
