The purpose of the Women’s Ministry is for every woman to know Christ personally and be committed to extending His Kingdom in her life, home, church, community and throughout the world. The framework of the Women’s Ministry provides an opportunity for each woman to discern and exercise her gifts and abilities to the glory of God in the total work and worship of the church. The goal is that this purpose will become a reality as women are given opportunities to respond to the Gospel and to pray, study the Scriptures, fellowship, and serve the Lord together. The Women’s Ministry recognizes that all ministries and activities of the church are under the authority and guidance of the session.
Our Redeemer Women’s Ministry encourages women to grow in Christ through the following ideas:
- Grounding our members in the faith by providing times for spiritual growth through a variety of venues.
- To help our ladies focus on growing together in our faith and becoming a stronger disciple of Christ.
- Encouraging regular times of fellowship with our sisters in Christ.
- Promoting unity and enriching the church’s ministry by serving others.
REDEEMER WOMEN’S EVENTS:
-
Women’s Evening Fellowship. We hold a few ladies’ fellowship events throughout the year (dates and time announced in advance). The next one is Thursday, June 8th. Join us for a fun time of fellowship and desserts. If you are new to Redeemer, this is a great way to get to know the women of Redeemer in a casual setting. Feel free to bring a dessert to share! Just come and enjoy the fun and be refreshed by the time of fellowship. If you have any questions contact Hoosfamily8@gmail.com.
Women Nurturing Women
This year, our women’s ministry is focusing on Community. Romans 12:10-13 says:
“Be devoted to one another in brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing
honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
Our primary focus for Bible study is threefold:
● study,
● prayer,
● and relationships.
-
Bible Study:
Bible studies are hosted all-year-round!
● Fall: We meet from September - November.
● Winter: We meet from January/February - March.
● Summer: We will meet May–August once a month.
Starting in January, we will study the book of Galatians. The people of Galatia wanted to add to the gospel, which ultimately takes away from the finished work of Christ.
Our modern mentality is much like the Galatians. We are focused on self-help and do-it-yourself solutions. As we go about our Christian walk, it is easy for all of us to fall into self-reliance instead of resting in complete dependence upon Christ.
In the book of Galatians, we find encouragement to seek freedom in Christ. Galatians 5:1 says:
“For freedom Christ has set us free;
stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”

Mentoring Ministry:
Heart & Soul
Titus 2:3-5 says:
“Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers
or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good,
and so train the young women to love their husbands and children,
to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive
to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.”
We are thrilled that Redeemer has a women's mentoring ministry! In this ministry, women are walking alongside women. Titus 2:3-5 models how women should encourage one another to delight in Jesus as we apply God’s Word to our lives.
Our wonderful mentors co-lead small group meetings. Our fellowship focuses on four important topics:
- practicing accountability,
- praying thoughtfully,
- pondering our book,
- And building community.
Our desire: We pray that these groups of women grow together, draw near to Christ, and – ultimately – become a blessing to our church family.
