And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (Hebrews 10:24-25 NIV)

Mission
We believe all women are important in God’s eyes and are vital in His Kingdom. We believe in unity within diversity and cooperation and caring through the inspiration and power of the Holy Spirit.

Our purpose is:

• To present the love of God as shown by the Cross and challenge women to become committed and growing Christians.

• To minister to and meet the many unique and varied special needs and interests of today’s woman.
  
  
• To help women develop their full potential as persons (spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, and socially) and for the benefit of ministry.
• To channel the energies of women into the building of the Kingdom of God.
• To use the gifts and talents of women in service.
• To enable women to live lives in the delicate balance of giving and receiving.
• To challenge women to become all God wants them to be.
