Women's Missions & Ministries

There’s a growing trend of churches starting girls’ ministry due to the overwhelming need to speak into the lives of young ladies needing guidance through the unique problems of womanhood.

Pam Gibbs, Lifeway Girls’ Ministry Specialist, recently shared at Define weekend, about the needs of girls and how churches can effectively reach them. “Many of you are already doing a girls’ ministry. Anytime you are intentional about meeting the needs of teen girls, that’s girls’ ministry.”

She explained that a girls’ ministry is a part of the church’s ministry to not only the girls, but to parents and leaders as well. Ministry can be incorporated anywhere girls are and should involve discipleship, in addition to, just fun. Read more

Just as unique as the snowflakes falling, over 500 Colorado girls, from 5^th - 12^th grade, moms, leaders and volunteers attended Define Weekend, February 19-20 at Riverside Baptist Church, Denver.  

Friday evening, after praise and worship time, author, speaker and founder of Redeemed Girl Ministries, Marian Jordan, set the tone for the weekend with this statement: The only one who has the right to define you is the one who created you. She showed the girls how they are a precious treasure like a china cup rather than a cheap Styrofoam coffee cup.  From her personal testimony, Marian shared her struggles as she sought to deal with the labels she acquired as a child and the results of the damaging life choices she made trying to fill the void caused by those labels. She encouraged the girls that labels do not define us and that God can redeem us regardless of our choices. During the closing commitment service girls filled the altar area as they sought out an encourager for prayer and took the opportunity to write with a black marker on black silhouettes their requests to God for the weekend, so what was written was known only to them and God. 

Later Friday night, Ayiesha Woods, Christian artist and Dove award nominee, rocked the house with her soulful mix of music and connected with the girls as she encouraged them that they are “gems to God.”
