There are many ways to get involved in our Women’s ministry. Below is a list of ministries for women to come and be blessed. Hope to see you there!

Beauty for Ashes


Beauty for Ashes Ministry is a confidential 11-week Bible Study designed to minister to women who have been wounded by abortion. By focusing on scripture, we help lead you through the process of restoration and forgiveness through Jesus Christ.

The experience of a pregnancy loss through abortion may be far in your past, but the memories and reminders often remain. You are not alone in your feelings. The good news is those feelings don’t have to go on forever. We would like to invite you to join us in taking the first step towards healing.

We will meet on Saturday mornings for 11 consecutive weeks and go through the workbook “Forgiven and Set Free” by Linda Cochrane. Together we will look to God’s word for truth, forgiveness, and healing.

THE NEXT 11 WEEK SERIES WILL BEGIN SATURDAY, February 8, 2013 @ 9:00am in the Prayer Room (located near the main sanctuary.)

PLEASE NOTE: This bible study is only offered twice a year in February and September. Also available in Spanish Ministry.

“The spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me, to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord…To comfort all who mourn… to give them Beauty for Ashes. The oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”

Isaiah 61:1-3
