Disciples Women’s Ministries

Disciples Women’s Ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Illinois and Wisconsin is a conduit to connect and empower women of the region in their diverse ministries as they grow individually and communally as disciples of Jesus the Christ.

OUR PURPOSE 

The purpose of Disciples Women’s Ministries is to provide leadership, guidance and a communication channel for the women of the region as they share the Good News through:

  • Worship for spiritual growth and renewed discipleship;
  • Bible study for greater knowledge, understanding, and service;
  • Participation in mission, advocacy, and service;
  • Networking and fellowship for building the faith community locally, regionally, and throughout the whole church;
  • Leadership training for the service to God in Disciples Women, the church, and the community;
  • Stewardship of time, talent, and resources for the mission of the church;
  • Accountability and personal responsibility for the mission of Jesus the Christ through the church.

If you are Disciples and a woman, then you are a Disciples Woman!
