The Women In Christ Women’s Ministry at C
alvary Chapel Chester Springs exists to serve and glorify our Lord Jesus Christ, and to encourage women to grow in their personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ by teaching them God’s Word and applying His Word to their lives. Our desire is to see women from all walks of life grow deeper in the Lord. The primary way that is accomplished is through the all-sufficient living God and His Word, and out of that, flows strengthened relationships with spouses, family and other women.
“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me…By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, so you will be My disciples.” John 15:4, 8
“that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding”
“that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.”
“that you would be strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy.” Colossians 1:9-11
Our focus is to provide a variety of opportunities for women to be built up and encouraged in the Word of God and to fellowship with their sisters in the Lord. We host a variety of events throughout the year such as:
- Bible studies
- Annual Christmas Luncheon and Spring Retreat
- Weekly Women’s Prayer and Monthly Missions Prayer
- MOMS in Christ Monthly Teaching Ministry for moms
- Evening fellowhip dinners
May the Lord abundantly bless you as you seek to know Him more deeply and to make Him more fully known. We are here to serve you! Please let us know if you have any questions regarding Women’s Ministry by contacting us at womensministry@cc-chestersprings.com
