For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
- Ephesians 2:8-10
Women's Ministries
The mission of Atonement’s women’s ministry is to help women grow in their relationship with God by studying the Bible, by mentoring each other, and by encouraging meaningful fellowship as they respond to God’s grace and to his calling to know Him and grow in love and obedience to Him.
We support the church’s mission to lead women from unbelief to joyful, mature faith in Christ. We do this by sponsoring activities that promote spiritual growth, friendship and serving those in need.
Mentor Groups
Women are uniquely called to mentor each other - you can find the details about that in Titus 2. Church of the Atonement has mentor groups for all stages of life. Whether you are single or married, just graduated from college or raising children, are facing an empty nest or are in your retirement years, there is a group for you to learn with, pray with, and share with. These groups begin in September and continue to meet monthly until May of the following year, usually meeting in the mentor’s home.
Retreats
Most women have a strong desire for deep friendships with other women, while mentor groups, Bible studies, and Sunday school classes are wonderful, safe places where these friendships can be cultivated, the women’s ministry team also organizes bi annual fall retreats. There will be no retreat for 2019, but we are already starting to look at next year's retreat! Spiritual renewal and friendship building go hand in hand during these retreats. Similarly, there is a spring morning retreat every year that focuses on women sharing from what they have learned in the previous year.
Informal Social Events
The woman’s ministry is planning informal social events and brown bag events where you will have an opportunity to build friendships at Church of the Atonement. Some of these events include visiting a museum together, enjoying a ladies’ night out, game night or just gathering for a potluck meal.
You can consult the church calendar or contact us at [email protected] for events dates and time.
Meals
Whether you’ve just had surgery, delivered a baby, or are in the throes of illness, the gift of a meal is a wonderful act of kindness and brings encouragement as well. The church’s meals team organizes meals for members in these types of situations. Rest assured that you are prayed for as well. And if you enjoy cooking, we would love to add a few cooks to the team.
