Ministering
to Women
"The Wise Woman Builds Her House..." Proverbs 14:1
Because
This is what we know: God loves us. He calls us to love each other;
He commissions us to go beyond our world and share His love. So how do
we do that? One way is through the church.
The Women's Ministry at Ingleside Baptist Church purposes to serve,
whether it be through words of encouragement, prayer, or "being there"
to do what ever is needed. People need to know Love and need to be in a
place where they can show Love and experience it too.
Our goals
- To keep balance between ministering to others and being ministered
to.
- To reach out to women and confront them with the love of Jesus Christ.
- To help women develop their God given potential as persons of value
in their home, church, and community.
- To encourage involvement of women in creative service under the
leadership of the Holy Spirit.
- To bring together women of all ages and seasons of life for
edification and service opportunities.
Each Spring and Fall, there are several Bible Studies
offered during the week.
Most recent studies:
Where Could I fit in?
The following is a list of areas of interest for women and who to
contact for more information. However, as we seek to serve creatively,
this list could be growing. Please call the church office at 477.7251 if
you do not find the area you are interested in.
Aerobics & Exercise
In the Family Life Center we have a workout room, a track for walking
or running, and several scheduled activities. For facility hours or schedule of
classes or events call the Family Life Center (FLC) at 477.4003.
Arts & Crafts
We have a well equipped craft room and offer a fun time to do
ceramics and other crafts while enjoying the fellowship of other
crafters. For information or to sign up for classes call the FLC at
477.4003. If you would like to teach a craft, call the FLC to see if we
can get that started.
Battered Women's Shelter
Ministering to the whole woman through meeting the spiritual,
physical, and emotional needs allows us to bring the love of Christ to
women in crisis situations. We all need to know someone cares and this
ministry continues to bring that message even after the women leave the
shelter. If you are led to serve in this area or would like to
contribute in any way, please call the church office at 477.7251.
Choir
Being a part of this ministry requires a heart that is eager to
worship the Lord in song. If you feel timid about how you sound, be
assured this choir simply desires to please the Lord with the voices He
has given us.
Rehearsals take place on Sunday evenings at 6:00, and child care is
provided. Be a part of this exciting and rewarding time to worship with
this family in Christ. For questions or more information, contact Greg Goforth at
477.7251.
Inglelights
If you are age 55 or older and desire fellowship with your peer
group, this is the group for you. Every fourth Tuesday, alternating noon
and evening meetings, join the Inglelights for a covered dish meal and
hear a guest speaker. The Inglelights also take trips together at
various times during the year. For more information contact the church
office at 477.7251.
Women on Missions
Because Ingleside takes the Great Commission very seriously, our
women support those who go to the mission field with prayer, mission
projects, and by learning about missionaries and their needs. Adult
women of all ages meet monthly. For more information on these meetings
or to find out how you can be involved, call the church office at
477.7251.
Mothers Morning Out
This program is designed to provide parents with a few hours away to
participate in activities of their choosing. It gives the children an
opportunity to play and learn while interacting with children at their
developmental stage in a secure Christian environment For openings in
classes, cost, or any other information about MMO call 477.0600.
Singles
In addition to weekly Sunday morning Bible study, the Singles plan
various social activities throughout the year. To learn more about where you can
"plug in", visit one of the classes.
Weekday Preschool
"Touching the lives of children with God's love" is our motto. A
program for 2K, 3K, and 4K has been developed with concern for the total
development of a child. Children are led to develop a sense of values,
self-worth, and respect as well as a love of God and respect for all of
His creation. To inquire about class openings, cost, registration or
other information contact Ruth Brady at 477.0600.
If you're looking for a place to get involved this is what we
suggest:
- PRAY Jeremiah 29:11 says He knows the plan He has for you and that
it is a good one. We Just need to seek His Will.
- ACT Once He has given you direction tell someone. Contact a
member of the Women's Ministry Team or a staff member. Let us help you
get started.
God is at work and we are eager to join Him. If God is leading you to
begin a ministry to women or if we can pray for a specific need in
women's ministry please call the church office at 4777251.
