Mission Statement

Encouraging Women Mission Statement:

~ To Prepare God’s people for works of service

~ To Build up the faith of God’s people

~ To Teach others about Jesus

~ To Encourage others not to become complacent but to continue to become mature and grow in Christ–attaining the whole measure of the fullness of Christ

~ To Speak the truth in love and transparency

This is adapted from Ephesians 4:12-15. 

If you go to the Bible and read this, there are a few adapatations but I really felt like God added them to the mission statement.  First, many people become complacent about growing and maturing in God.  None of us are ever going to “arrive” and be perfect.  We are always going to need to strive for more and not be content (or complacent) about the knowledge we have in Christ.  Second, God gave me the word “Transparency.”  Not only does He want us to speak the truth in love, He wants us to be transparent with others.  Women often feel they cannot measure up and it is because others in their life are not being transparent or real with them.  Their lives aren’t perfect but no one is willing to admit it.  Being transparent helps others realize they are normal!

Personally…the verse God gave me is Acts 26:17-18  I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.
